And some bits that read the SRM environment variables to snag the kernel command line and such. It shouldn't be terribly hard to either implement the SRM callbacks in MILO or (conditionally) avoid them in the BSD kernel. The former would of course be more helpful. r~ -- To unsubscribe: send e-mail to axp-list-request@redhat.com with 'unsubscribe' as the subject.
