Try this instead: http://people.freebsd.org/~jhb/patches/btx_real.patch (btx_crx has been in the base system for a while FWIW). This is somewhat similar to kib's patch but fixes at least one bug I found in kib's patch (and uses some slightly different approaches in a few places). -- John Baldwin _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
