I realize that the mode to 32 bit minors has been "in the works". I also remember seeing a recent problem with booting diskless off an Alpha box which supports 32 bit minors from a BSD box that did not. Since it was only several days ago, you should be able to grep it out of your news spool and tell them how to fix it without their kludge of redoing the MAKEDEV that they used as a workaround. Unless it's not all there yet... Regards, Terry Lambert terry@cs.weber.edu --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
