Well, I guess it was a mistake in believing that you guys would actually write considered responses to the list (except for Jordan who while I don't agree with his position, at least took some time to think about the issue). Lets see, what have I heard so far? Jordan wants a major generification of the mechanism (about a 3 man-day's worth of work. At least). Peter and Bernd are posting their favorite (and apparently extremely complex and non-standard) partitioning methodologies, neither of which is even close to being appropriate for sysinstall, and Nate... well, Nate means well, but I was hoping for a review of the init_param*() split, not a critique of minor syntax. Ah well. Perhaps my expectations were a little too high. -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
