Platforms Supported: Sparc, Alpha, PowerPC, x86 (including VLIW 786) question: When I put the cdrom in to install, what the hell am I going to do with all this VME-bus crap in my /sys tree? I dont think I will ever be compiling something with VLIW's on my 386! Point being, yes, FreeBSD just might have 5 or 6 Arch-specific param.h files sometime in the future. What about the people who want only an arch-specific /sys tree? What if I want the whole enchilada so I can compile a new kernel for my lonely 486 on my 250Mhz Alpha? ___ Rob Mallory [rmallory@csusb.edu]
