If (and I do not really doubt you) this is true, this is most bizzare. I'll try that. I did.

I would love to, but that exceeds my time available :-( I do not mind running options, but I will not do justice to this project if I tried to make myself DEC Alpha expert overnight. Since DU ran fine, and NetBSD runs fine, I tend to leave it in the ``FreeBSD has a problem'' category. Still needs solving, of course, but me thinks not a configuration problem on this side of the universe. Willing to be proven wrong :-) Simon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
