Isn't it time to make GENERIC really small, just include what can't be loaded as modules and make loader.conf and the rc scripts load the rest? Of course this requres a stable module ABI and no use of options that break this. /Martin -- Martin Nilsson, CTO & Founder, Mullet Scandinavia AB, Malmö, SWEDEN E-mail: martin@mullet.se, Phone: +46-(0)708-606170, Web: www.mullet.se Our business is well engineered servers optimised for FreeBSD & Linux
