IA64 should be able to use a full GENERIC kernel for the CD as well. Only x86 with emulation booting really had the size limitation for booting off of the CD. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
