I have been working on this before and the approach I took (and seemed most likely to succeed) was to look at each syscall and see if it was directly or indirectly MD or MI. I could do this before I have an Alpha assuming that we don't need a working Alpha port yet. The question is if we have enough time for it? On the other hand, it doesn't have to be perfect, as long as the i386 port works... I should have the tarball somewhere as well (at least the one Andrew made "public"). Send me what you've got (to make sure I have the latest) and I'll take a look at it... -- Marcel Moolenaar mail: marcel@cup.hp.com / marcel@FreeBSD.org tel: (408) 447-4222 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
