I see you were also looking into what needs to done to get LinuxBIOS booting FreeBSD on freebsd-hackers. It would be nice to get that, a cluster filesystem and a BProc/MOSIX type piece of functionality ported to FreeBSD. I'm assuming I need some assembly skills and familiarity with BIOS calls to look at the LinuxBIOS piece? Or do you have a good handle on the problem and just need to railroad the changes through? -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology FreeBSD : glewis@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-cluster" in the body of the message
