It looks like there is space on mfsroot for several modules in /stand/modules, and sysinstall already knows to look for these and load them if present. I'm working on a patch to src/release/Makefile to put all of the wireless ethernet drivers as modules on the MFSROOT floppy, instead of compiled into the boot floppy. This should allow us to put sysvipc back into the boot floppy, and give us further room to grow. - Murray --Dx9iWuMxHO1cCoFc Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (SunOS) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8RT0OtNcQog5FH30RAq5iAKCSRYVIlTqQFXHXnUOWEdPmJKuNPgCeMvDx 7Pg/d6a09DJk0urOGCGJC6o= =6fua -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Dx9iWuMxHO1cCoFc-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-qa" in the body of the message
