Even if we take the BSDI/sparc bits to create FreeBSD/sparc we will need the FreeBSD loader. FreeBSD/sparc *must* "feel" just like FreeBSD/i386 or FreeBSD/alpha -- otherwise it isn't FreeBSD. The loader is very FreeBSD specific and not having it is not acceptable. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
