Say: kgzip kernel Curious, it doesn't even look like that binary is hooked into the build process at all on 9.0-RELEASE. It's manpage indicates that it is unsuitable for loader(8) use, and that just running gzip(1) on the kernel file is sufficient; a fact to which I can attest, since I compress everything in /boot/kernel to save space on my flashcard installs, and the loader has no problem decompressing it on the fly. kldload(8), on the other hand, still seems to be incapable of handling gzipped klds. -- Fuzzy love, -CyberLeo Technical Administrator CyberLeo.Net Webhosting http://www.CyberLeo.Net <CyberLeo@CyberLeo.Net> Furry Peace! - http://wwww.fur.com/peace/
