[1] But will try to do it again, step-by-step :) So that patch allow switch from static hints to dynamic hints. That way embedded systems, which usually compiled with hints (static) will be able to see/edit/add hints and/or kenv variables. If nobody have objections I will commit it soon. Hope 2-3 days enough for that :) [1] http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-arch/2012-January/012295.html [2] http://people.freebsd.org/~ray/subr_hints.c.patch Thanks.
