If the %ebx hack handles the more commonly available BSDI binaries, which it apparently does, I'd say almost certainly. Hopefully nobody will forget :-). The parallel port probing also needs to be fixed prior to 3.2. -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
