FreeBSD has working on the issue from two directions.
1) John Baldwin <[email protected]> has made software changes to FreeBSD head that work around the issue (http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&sortby=date&revision=261243). This issue was to be MFCed a few weeks back. I am sure that John will MFC it at some point. 2) I worked with Jung-uk Kim <[email protected]> to develop BIOS patches to give to PC Engines to provide back to SAGE. I received an updated BIOS with this change the end of last week.
