Re: The kernels of *BSD include nonfree firmware blobs?

Drivers run on the CPU, firmware runs on the peripheral device (e.g. the network card or hard drive). BSDs reject driver blobs because they run with the same privilege and in the same address space as the rest of the kernel. Because of this, they can meddle with or corrupt the kernel. Before

I have it up and running. It runs pretty hot and in Gnome, the settings app crashes before it can load (as does the power management app). Guessing that the Apple SMC voodoo is probably not supported. Here's my dmesg: OpenBSD 5.8-current (GENERIC.MP) #1663: Wed Nov 25 13:59:58 MST 2015
