Hmm, maybe that's the problem I'm having on my laptop... Just kidding! :-) I think Peters concerns are valid, but it's not below me to support patching up BSDI binaries after we have loaded them, so if that works I'm all for it. Are we one of the most scalable OS's around by now or what ? From a 386sx/nothing to wcarchive is quite a span, and we seem to use the hw pretty well in both cases. On a related note: Have you guys seen the pppbios.pdf file on ftp.intel.com ? It's a guide for P6 bios writers, and there is quite a bit of gold-dust in it wrt. huge ram, SMP and other things. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | phk@FreeBSD.ORG FreeBSD Core-team. http://www.freebsd.org/~phk | phk@login.dknet.dk Private mailbox. whois: [PHK] | phk@ref.tfs.com TRW Financial Systems, Inc.
