I have been wondering if fbsd people would like to move into the openbios.org direction? Well, at least I for myself would _dream_ of booting my laptop and have X running in 10 seconds :)) I am asking because AFAIK the openbios guys replace the standard bios calls with their own code (kernel, whatever). So would this acutally be possible in fbsd? Are there any calls to bios routines or is everything coded by hand? sorry if this is a bit off-topic. I was just to curious... aaron. --- pub 1024D/6110C44D 2001-01-19 Aaron Kaplan sig 6110C44D 2001-01-19 Aaron Kaplan sub 2048g/EB2C5163 2001-01-19 [expires: 2002-01-19] sig 6110C44D 2001-01-19 Aaron Kaplan >> get key from http://pgp.ai.mit.edu/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
