Yes, the model should be that in order to use it with the rawfile target you have to manually load some CTF container, either a stand-alone file or from an ELF file like the kernel or whatever. Fundamentally this should be a common service at the target layer, since even when you are using proc or whatever you may want to manually load something to supplement some missing types. -Mike -- Mike Shapiro, Solaris Kernel Development. blogs.sun.com/mws/
