I have been reading the archives on this issue and am getting some info
bit by bit.
I am running 5.3 Release amd64
I have edited /etc/make.conf and added:
WITH_LIB32=YES
I have edited my version of MYKERNEL to include :
options SMP
options QUOTA
options COMPAT_IA32 # Compatible with i386 binaries
(last one in by default)
Did make depend, make, and make insall.
Rebooted. Kernel looks like it installed because quotas now work:
hostserv1# quota -v
Disk quotas for user root (uid 0):
Filesystem usage quota limit grace files quota
limit grace
/home 130108 0 0 3660 0 0
/usr 1054978 0 0 67161 0 0
/var 6580 0 0 1031
0 0
I gather this means the kernel suports the 32 bit compat mode from the
posts I have seen so far:
hostserv1# sysctl kern.elf32
kern.elf32.fallback_brand: -1
hostserv1#
After this I seem to be lost. I have seen references to various things,
but bottom line, where do I go from here. The script under tools is
obsolete now? install32.sh? I get the impression that this stuff was
supposed to compile with the kernel but Google doesn't help me find any
one place that is a step by step walk through.
Thanks
Ken
