And why did that single fix (suggested Probably because it wasn't enabled in -current. >by Don Lewis, BTW, who knows far more about the x86 instruction set >than I) result in USERCONFIG_BOOT working where it did not before? Because -stable has a different `lea' instruction than -current (without the `$'). Previously -stable had a different (broken) movl instruction than -current (without the `$'). `lea' (without the `$') does work but is not normally used on x86's because it is larger in some cases and slower in some cases but never smaller or faster.
