I thought that compactPCI might be too esoteric for -questions.] Has anyone run FreeBSD on a compactPCI system? I would like to build a box with many boards in it, and compactPCI systems seem to be available with many slots. Are there CPU modules available that look enough like a regular PC that FreeBSD would run? Is there some way that compactPCI doesn't look to the software like a "normal" PCI bus? The compactPCI spec says it is electrically compatible which would imply (to me) that it looks the same to the software as well. thanks, andrew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
