BUT, be careful about trying to pick up and apply Pawel's latest patches. I'm currently wedged with a new kernel and automagically upgraded zfs pool and an old userland that can't cope. I can't mount my various /usr, /usr/src, etc... filesystems so I can't installworld with the patched stuff. Catch-22. Fortunately the box was set up for just this experiment.... g.
