What, if anything, do we need to do to start using it ourselves now on i386 or amd64 platforms? Just change kernel options? Also, while here, the APM (apple partition manager) module doesn't quite work with Tivo disks. Tivo drives don't have the DDR signature. Simply removing the DDR code enables FreeBSD to mount and work with tivo drives. -- Peter Wemm - peter@wemm.org; peter@FreeBSD.org; peter@yahoo-inc.com; KI6FJV "All of this is for nothing if we don't go to the stars" - JMS/B5 "If Java had true garbage collection, most programs would delete themselves upon execution." -- Robert Sewell
