Hi, Big-endian and little-endian question. I remember that when the Alpha cpu was designed one of the features was the ability to switched to be big-endian or little-endian format for a particular operating system. Will FreeBSD/Alpha be using the same endian format that FreeBSD/i386 uses? BTW, which endian format does the 386 user. Big or little. I forget. :-) Cheers Roger To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
