One other suggestion, while I'm at it. The dgb driver has been marked alpha quality for a LONG time. I've had a fax server running on a PC/Xe 8 port card (64k shared RAM) for well over a year on one of these cards - and have NEVER had a single problem with it. That server gets a LOT of

Hi folks, Are there issues that make the following apparently innocuous change to the handling of turning off promiscuous mode a bad idea? It doesn't seem to me like it'd break anything, and I'd like to know for sure when it's turned off -- it'd mean I don't have to count up the number of

Problem --- Fact: ld.so (rtld-aout) is built as part of ``legacy-build'' and then installed as part of ``legacy-install''. In order to build it, one needs to pass -DWANT_AOUT to the ``make world'' process. This will build a.out libraries and legacy boot as well.

Hi, I just made a major mistake with my FreeBSD drive that I hope I can recover from. Not thinking too far ahead, I tried to install OS-BS on a dangerously dedicated FreeBSD drive. This had the unfortunate side effect of wiping out both the boot code and disklabel from the drive. I'd like to
