I would appreciate lots of advice (and encouragement) on this part though... I have started working on the 2nd stage loader already. I will start by using the NetBSD sparc gcc untill the freebsd one is ready... (Lydon??? :-) ) I am assuming that it doesn't matter which compiler builds the 2nd stage loader image. Let me know if that is not a valid assumption. Thanks Mark Tempel mtempel@visi.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
