Cool.. BTW, has anybody tried running 5.2-current as a guest on vmware2? It panics in sse2_pagezero() on my p4, so I have to break into the debugger and reduce my cpu_class to 3. I"m really glad that the jsnap builds have ddb built in.. ;) Also, tsc ticks are off by an order of magnitude, so the install was really slow until I could switch it to the i8254. Drew
