Hi Beto,
Darn ol' linux.ko. That was the problem. For some reason that module
didn't get loaded. Sigh, I guess I need to say darn ol' operator, eh.
It worked immediately after I did kldload linux.
I always thought that that was what linux_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf did.
I guess I'll need to load it out of /boot/loader.conf. I don't remember
doing this
before but maybe when I installed some linux program the installation
took care
of it for me.
So anyway. Thank you very much.
Most Respectfully,
Duane Whitty
