As of FreeeBSD 6.0-STABLE, /usr/src/usr.sbin/config/lang.l (rev. 1.41, last updated 2005/02/10 10:46:27) has tokens defined such as "cpu", "device", "nodevice", etc., but not "nocpu". It might be worth adding, though. Of course, some semantics would need to be associated with it in config.y. > Or is this irrelevant as the build knows what CPU I have? It might know what kind you havem but that's no guarantee that you plan to run the kernel you build on the same machine. Peace, david -- David H.
