I'm migrating a lot of services to a new server running 9.1 amd64. I have a VMWare FreeBSD 3.3 server I want to decommission, which is running a client's website with a shopping cart system in an a.out binary (source code lost long ago). I have just tried to build a new kernel on the 9.1/amd64 machine with COMPAT_AOUT added to /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/NEWKERNEL but ... root@corella:/usr/src/sys/amd64/conf # config NEWKERNEL NEWKERNEL: unknown option "COMPAT_AOUT" COMPAT_AOUT is recognised in i386/conf The funny thing is that in amd64/conf/NOTES is device gzip #Exec gzipped a.out's. REQUIRES COMPAT_AOUT! Is it possible to get 9.1/amd64 to run i386 a.out binaries? What might I be missing? Thanks, Danny
