After reading /sys/boot/README, I decided to sync up my -current boxes.
I began playing around with loader, kld's and the splash screens. Now I
have a few queries ... #;^)
From dmesg on my -current box:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
What is MTRR? Using the web based cross referencing tool I came up with the
following:
234 #define NPPROVMTRR 8
235 #define PPRO_VMTRRphysBase0 0x200
236 #define PPRO_VMTRRphysMask0 0x201
237 struct ppro_vmtrr {
238 u_int64_t base, mask;
239 };
240 extern struct ppro_vmtrr PPro_vmtrr[NPPROVMTRR];
Could someone elaborate on the definitions?
thanxs in advance ...
