Though I'd prefer to make this a transitional measure, say to be dropped before the 3.2 release (or whenever). There's only 7K available for boot2 (with, for example, 144 bytes of free space at the moment). Even a new version of gcc may reduce to a negative value. -- Robert Nordier To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
