ok so we are ready now...
there is a document that describes what is needed:

http://perforce.freebsd.org/fileLogView.cgi?FSPC=//depot/projects/vimage/porting_to_vimage.txt

static variables hav eto be added to the structure that will be used..

the current pf changes can be seen in:

http://perforce.freebsd.org/depotTreeBrowser.cgi?FSPC=//depot/projects/vimage/src/sys

or in

http://www.freebsd.org/~julian/vimage.diff

can you send me the diff that you did so far and we can discuss it?
