[-- Attachment #1 --] From http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.1R/relnotes-i386.html: "Due to code size limitations, the i386 boot loader can only load kernels from root file systems that are 1.5TB or smaller in size." I originally parsed that as: "Due to code size limitations, the i386 boat loader can only load kernels smaller than 1.5TB from root file systems." I was seriously impressed with the amount of big-iron testing on this release until I re-read the sentence. -- Kirk Strauser In Googlis non est, ergo non est.
