************ project ************* ********** kldload ufs *********** i feel that a real microkernel OS should'nt have a bloated kernel in the sense, that heavy OS equipment like a FileSystem should run as a module on top of the kernel. i aim to make ufs run as a module on FreeBSD, which surely would require a lot of serious kernel code<-entry points. -------------- pitfall -------------------- 1. the system after boot will load the kernel image into core from disc. 2. kernel runs init. 3. if init fails, then access to disk is'nt possible as the filesystem module is not running. ** i do not know how HURD does it ** -------------------------------------------- i have'nt done a lot of kernel hacking so if anyone can shed some light on this subject, i'd be really grateful FreeBSDRules __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
