Off your topic, but to aid memorising this, looking at mine on:
FreeBSD x200.smithi.id.au 9.3-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 9.3-PRERELEASE #0: Fri 
Nov 14 18:41:59 EST 2014 root@x200.smithi.id.au:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

options COMPAT_FREEBSD7
options COMPAT_FREEBSD6
options COMPAT_FREEBSD5
options COMPAT_FREEBSD4
options COMPAT_FREEBSD32

Should I be surprised to find no COMPAT_FREEBSD8 ?

cheers, Ian
