No, actually, all you need to do is this: figure out what BIOS calls freebsd is making, then figure out how we can get freebsd not to make them, and see what we need to do with the tables linuxbios provides so that freebsd can get its bios-provided info via the tables. So the questions are: - what calls is freebsd making? - why? thanks ron To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-cluster" in the body of the message
