As for the base / extended /cache distinction in the BIOS, these belong to the ancient DOS era and have nothing to do with modern operating systems. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
