Drivers in usr/kernel aren't necessary during early boot, and are thus not in the boot archive. The less stuff in the boot archive, the fast it can be brought in from disk (I suspect grub may read it PIO, which can sometimes really suck, but that's memory of conversation, I've not verified it). If your driver isn't going to be needed prior to / mounting, put it in /usr. -- Rich ------------------------------------------- illumos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/182180/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/182180/21175430-2e6923be Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21175430&id_secret=21175430-6a77cda4 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
