/proc/sysctl might be useful. Just because Linux uses it doesn't make
and/or get it wrong. sysctl has some file-system like properties, but on the
whole, it's not a file system -- it's much more like an SNMP MIB.
While you can map anything into anything (including Turing machines), I think
the sysctl command line tool and API, despite its limitations, is a
Hi All,
Some time ago i have started reading the code in the sys/boot.
Especially i'm interested in the partition tables handling.
I found several problems:
1. There are several copies of the same code in the libi386/biosdisk.c
and common/disk.c, and partially libpc98/biosdisk.c.
2. ZFS probing

Hi,
I am a bit confused with all these variables defined in freebsd(especially
in freebsd 6.1): Which one of this represents the real memory of a system? Say
we bought a system with 4G ram, which one tells me the RAM is 4G?
Accordign to source code:
Maxmem == the highest page of phisycal
