Mike Smith once stated: => So, does anyone know enough about bootblocks to look at integrating => NetBSD's? [...] => They have done a significant amount of work in this area it seems, => and they already have a two-stage design. Trying to squeeze every => last bit out of the current blocks seems futile.. =The only thing "wrong" with their code is that their second stage =bootblock has a blocklist for the third stage. That's Ugly. Yet its there. Please, excuse me wondering into an area I have very limited understanding of, but why can not FreeBSD be booted by NetBSD bootblocks? Would not this be a sensible step to take? -mi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
