Hi,

I've been working on intergrating the work done on NetBSD to allow for 
VM86 mode.  I've done ifdefs on every change so it should be none
lethal (I hope...:)).  I'm in the process of compiling a kernel right now
 and if there are no bombs in the compile and no panics on boot, I'll
make a diff.  The only problem is that my diff would be in relation to
2.0-RELEASE and not current (I've only got one machine now:().

Most likely there will be a bomb or a panic due to fact that a major portion
of the interfaces have changed. (e.g. IDTVEC in exception.s instead of 
locore.s, different setup of struct and so on)

After I've spent a little bit of time on this, I would like to get some help
from the pros.  Anyone who knows the kernel pretty well want to help out?

Gary
