Grab a copy of the Solaris/x86 libraries from Sun (they'll ship you a CD set for $10 which includes SPARC and x86 binaries). Then look at http://www.freebsd.org/~newton/freebsd-svr4/ to see how to make it work. Note that the module sources on the web page have not been tested with 3.x for a very long time. You really ought to be running -current to expect this to work. - mark ---- Mark Newton Email: newton@internode.com.au (W) Network Engineer Email: newton@atdot.dotat.org (H) Internode Systems Pty Ltd Desk: +61-8-82232999 "Network Man" - Anagram of "Mark Newton" Mobile: +61-416-202-223 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
