I'm not aware of any problems a.out kernel can bring, but in the situation with netboot which also wants a.out kernels it worked pretty well. Don't exactly remember how did I manage to build that kind of kernel, you may want to start with "makeoptions" in config file. -- Regards, Yaroslav Halchinsky To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
