That is on the todo list to possibly change. However, the bug appears to be in the ufs(4) driver in libstand, not in the forth stuff (or lack thereof). Certain test loaders that I build choke after reading in the first 48k (Get a bogus EOF it seems) of the mfsroot.gz.aa file. Once I track this down I will commit what I have now. Then I will work on going back to a stock loader and probably sticking an acpi.ko.gz on the boot floppy as well. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve" = http://www.FreeBSD.org
