If you want to go to extremes, require the user to put=20 zfs.zfs.run_on_32_bit_and_i_understand_i_am_an_idiot_and_this_is_not_recomm= ended=3D1=20 in loader.conf, or else have the kernel panic by design on boot. But don't make it totally impossible without patching the source, *please*. Obviously the exception is if development for i386 stops such that it actua= lly=20 does not work. But disallowing it for artificial reasons... please leave=20 things like that to proprietary hardware/software vendors trying to squeeze= =20 money of out consumers, and leave it out of a free operation system. =2D-=20 / Peter Schuller PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller <peter.schuller@infidyne.com>' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to getpgpkey@scode.org E-Mail: peter.schuller@infidyne.com Web: http://www.scode.org --nextPart1781470.KER9S0gyGh Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBHglw4DNor2+l1i30RAt57AJ96qALVP8jZr9LylTA5mBctiFisIQCdESGC scII2NAPG1uDsdtSxa7kuVY= =2l94 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1781470.KER9S0gyGh--
