wait a sec, I got no such email from you :P
this motivates me a lot, as soon as i'm done with restructuring the
wintel's systems and the 3 coding projects they have me on I'll get
back to it.
I thought I was just stumbling along blindly, making a cross
platform gcc compile on freebsd isn't very easy.

yeah, but if you put 64 processors in it Slowlaris will blow
netbsd away! </hardware kiddie>
Cool to know I was at least on the right track, mainly the problems
I'm having is that I have a 170e instead of a 170 (the scsi and
ethernet aren't supported) plus the configuration files netbsd
uses are a bit difficult to figure out for someone who hsan't
done this sort of stuff before.
