I recall upgrades taking little time (measured in seconds, generally, not
minutes or hours).  Yes, you should upgrade - bugs are fixed and you
should have noticeably better performance.

I never had a problem with upgrades, but if it's with data you absolutely
can't lose, make sure it's backed up.

I'm running Hammer version 1, and can go up to 4. Should I upgrade, and how 
long does it take?

I turned on SMP and APIC_IO and got a panic during boot. I turned them off, 
leaving only the 686 CPU enabled, and it boots. I haven't tried SMP without 
APIC_IO.

I think the '-a' is how it used to work & how I just typed it -
try without.

also - I've since discovered that the rc script takes care of this -
however, if you're coming up 'from scratch' - e.g. didn't enable,

There's a bug in gettext-lib, it truncates some pointers to 32-bit on
DragonFly/x86-64 if you use non-default locales.

More details (and the fix) can be found in this PR: 
http://gnats.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=43879

This is starting to become a FAQ.
Any idea how to get the patches in this problem report committed to pkgsrc ?

Re: Firefox still crashes; ACPI

You could try disabling ACPI subsystems and hopefully it won't crash,
and then reenabling one at a time until it crashes.

Could someone post all the ACPI keywords / loader.conf line for that?

I'm pretty happy with the gigabyte board.  There are still some issues

Thanks I did that. It is working fine on the GENERIC.MP kernel I
compiled as well :-)
Firefox seems to be faster than that I had on my archlinux too.

Re: mount question

[Alex Hornung]

 Hi Andrei,

BSDs use disklabels on top of what one calls partitions. DragonFly in 
particular uses disklabel64 which Linux has no support for as far as I know.


So the structure would be:

---
| Partition
|   --
|   | disklabel partition
|   |
|   --
|   | disklabel partition
|   |
|   --
---
| Partition
| 


Kind regards,
Alex Hornung

I'll try, but I don't know what exactly the change was. There's now 
a /boot/kernel/ directory with both the kernel and the modules; before the 
kernel was /boot/kernel and the modules were in /boot/modules/?
