I tried btxboot-0.8.0 and > got a register dump. For a.out, it works here on various machines; and also according to several reports received. I've also had a positive report for a CAM SMP box. However, I'd be interested in getting details of the register dump. Not on account of btxboot (which is unimportant) but because it is test code for BTX, which the new 3-stage bootstrap also uses. (Even just the "eip=" value would be a help in deciding whether this is a btxboot, BTX, or kernel problem.) -- Robert Nordier To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
