I consider this a deficiency in the boot > loader, since it should be possible to load the symbols. Of course, What advantage would that give? Ie, how would you use all the debugging gunk better if it was loaded into memory instead of on the disk? DDB doesn't understand it does it? In any case, I like the idea of having ONE kernel and having the loader not load the debugging gunk into memory. -Archie ___________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * Whistle Communications, Inc. * http://www.whistle.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
