I didn't delete the sibyte when I pulled the trigger last week because the platform can support at least 128MB of RAM. But it's in the cross hairs for someone to prove it works or it will be GC'd at some unspecified point in the future. I'm thinking of adding this near the end of mips_init in sb_machdep.c: printf("This platform is believed broken and will be removed before FreeBSD 12.\n"); printf("Email mips@freebsd.org if you have it working.\n"); Warner On Fri, Jan 5, 2018 at 3:50 PM, Brooks Davis wrote: > The sibyte port is unlikely to work in practice.
