That is on the todo list to possibly change. However, the bug appears to b= e=20 in the ufs(4) driver in libstand, not in the forth stuff (or lack thereof).= =20 Certain test loaders that I build choke after reading in the first 48k (Get= a=20 bogus EOF it seems) of the mfsroot.gz.aa file. Once I track this down I wi= ll=20 commit what I have now. Then I will work on going back to a stock loader a= nd=20 probably sticking an acpi.ko.gz on the boot floppy as well. =2D-=20 John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve" =3D http://www.FreeBSD.org
