I was reading through the code to get a better understand of it.. and I think that we need to export the make variable LOAD_ADDRESS from the Makefile to kernel, as the file kern/link_aout.c has this same value hard coded in it... should something like: load_address.h: echo "#define LOAD_ADDRESS ${LOAD_ADDRESS}" > ${.TARGET} and include it from kern_link_aout.c? or is there already another mechanism in place for this? -- John-Mark Gurney Modem/FAX: +1 541 683 6954 Cu Networking Live in Peace, destroy Micro$oft, support free software, run FreeBSD
