Giant freakin' kernels?!?

2003-06-09 Thread Kirk Strauser 

From http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.1R/relnotes-i386.html:

   Due to code size limitations, the i386 boot loader can only load kernels
from root file systems that are 1.5TB or smaller in size.

I originally parsed that as:

   Due to code size limitations, the i386 boat loader can only load kernels
   smaller than 1.5TB from root file systems.

I was seriously impressed with the amount of big-iron testing on this
release until I re-read the sentence.
