 Hi!  Keep up the good work!  I am having some problems though...

 I downloaded the FreeBSD-current src/sys/* tree last nite to see if the 
 vm probs have been fixed yet...

 I am having a problem accessing my tape drive.  Any open op comes back with 
 errno set to 'Device not configured'...

 I use a Packard-Bell Force 2386 with a 486DX2-66 CPU, and a 
 Colorado Jumbo 120 tape drive, which works fine under 2.0-RELEASE, with 
 the exception of the many 'No pages???' kernel messages that op up every 
 time it's accessed.

 /* rfttest.c */

 #include <stdio.h>
 #include <errno.h>
 #include <sys/file.h>

 void main(void)
 {
    int rft;

    if ((rft = open("/dev/rft0", O_RDWR)) == -1) fprintf(stderr, "%s\n",
                                                         strerror(errno));
    else close(rft);
 }

 --
 Device not configured
 --
 The kernel was compiled with optimization set to:
 -O2 -m486 -fomit-frame-pointers
 --
 lower optimization settings seem to make no dent into the problems at hand, 
 and -O3 messes up one kernel source file. [i forget which]
 --
 Is 'options MACHVMCOMPAT' now obsolete?  Compiling with it seems to cause 
 it's routines to access non-existant proc struct members...
 --
 under 2.0-RELEASE, reboot seems to half of the time sync the disk, then 
 lock-up without dismounting the disk...  thus the last warning in the 
 dmesg...
 --
 The speed of the OS seems to be a helluva lot slower than 1.1.5.1, under 
 1.1.5.1 the nasa/ames pitest program runs in about 350 seconds, but under 
 2.* it runs in 840+ seconds.  I'll upload pitest.tar.gz to: 
 wcarchive.cdrom.com:/pub/incoming/FreeBSD

 config and dmesg follow:
