How can I get the kernel to make crash dumps if it fails before the 'dumpon'
command is issued ? There used to be a line in the kernel configuration file
beginning with the keyword 'config' which had options 'dumps on' or 'crash
on' but this has gone.

Why does sysinstall have to move at all?
Whenever I buildworld/installworld, I always go into release/sysinstall and do a make

Why can't the man page be included and installed with this?

Is it possible to have an ext2 filesystem on /?
Sorry if this is a FAQ, but I couldn't find any details after a bit of
searching.
Two issues come to my inexperienced mind. There is the trouble of
booting the kernel. GRUB can grok ext2 so I could use that (or at
least, I could probably hack GRUB

Down near the botton I have some unknown pnp devices, is there any way to
figure out what devices they are, they must be motherboard resources because
all other devices seem to be accounted for.

Title: RE: Broken mmap in current?
I think I spoke too soon.. I saw thousands of calls to mmap and assumed it was the thousands of read/writes that I was doing. It's actually for the thousands (8192) of pages that I'm mapping in. Oddly enough though there are only 3272 calls to my mmap rout
I'm not sure what the point of this would really be..nor how you could
enforce it. Perhaps you should submit a proof of concept ;-)
