" Q  Why are kernels with RAIDframe so huge?

A RAIDframe is not small. It typically requires at least 500K of extra
space [May 24, 2000?: Gee.. this is old too... on i386, I believe the
additional space required is only about 320K these days. Feb. 22,
2004: RAIDframe weighs in at 150K for i386]. This makes it tight to
get it working on something like a Sun 3/50 (kernels must be less than
1MB in size), but if you're going to be running this on a server,
chances are an extra 500K isn't going to be much of a problem. Doing
RAID well and with as many options as RAIDframe provides takes a lot
of space. I am working on pruning out unnecesary bits from the driver.

is openbsd using this code?
