Agree with you. Most of my devices load kernel from just mapped flash chip partition. But now I have two PC style boxes: 1. Efika MX Smartbook 2. Efika MX Smarttop both with FreeScale i.MX515 ARM SoC + 4M NOR for loader (I put second uboot + ubldr into it) + 8G SSD Which must be controllable by user, just like we do on PC. Of course it is not urgent feature, but "good to have" :) >> >> Damjan_______________________________________________ >> freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list >> http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current >> To unsubscribe, send any mail to >> "freebsd-current-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" WBW -- Aleksandr Rybalko <ray@ddteam.net>
