While we're talking about recent MFC's for SATA hardware (works for me,
but I still need the old ata drivers for my cdrom), is anyone out there
really still using the mcd (fbsd 1.0 vintage) and scd (2.0.5) drivers?

My last desktop machine had an ASUS Pentium-3 (no ISA slots), USB1
only. It has outlived the original hard drive, CDROM, and power supply,
but I think it makes more sense these days to throw these systems out
rather than future-proof them, especially if a fanless SoC could be
less
8.0-RC1, and now it doesn't successfully boot. I gather
from the 8.0 release notes that there have been some changes to some
part of the boot code. In any case, I can boot via the Windows boot
menu with the help of 7-stable's /boot/boot1 file.
Hoping that helps

managed to
successfully upgrade to 8.0 from 7-stable this way. For all I know, I
might end up with a corrupted partition six months from now. Either
that or Marcel Moolenar will get angry at me.

'csh' is an interactive shell, not a programming language. Anyone trying
to write portable scripts in 'csh' should know why Csh Programming

I vote that FreeBSD import a free version of the Windows command line,
cmd.exe. Show
child process. You write the compiled executable to the fork, and the child jumps to
the begining of that compiled code as soon as your parent process closes the
pipe!brbr
Gratuitous/pointless, but fun to think about.

WITHOUT_3DNOW='yo' trick I rely on. It would
also
be nice to specify certain heirarchys of kernel modules that
you don't want built in make.conf or your config file. Not that
I'm suggesting that pkgtools should be imported into FreeBSD. Yech!

interest in their camp for it, kind of odd
I thought) . So does that mean they had to make big changes to
their system call interface/ABI? If so, would their experiences/approach
be of any use to FreeBSD?
