Here's the result from my log before I redo it with an out > kernel, if anyone is interested. There's some (understandable) resistance to putting an ELF kernel in 3.0, so the changeover will probably happen a few weeks afterwards. At that stage we'll shift to the new bootloader as well. I don't expect that ELF kernels will be supported for 3.0-RELEASE, although you will be able to build and experiment with them. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
