I didn't specify just loading modules, but extra memory as well (the beyond 4GB addressable space). Using the options in i386 that allow you to access memory beyond 4GB, also eliminates the ability to dynamically load kernel modules. -Jim Stapleton _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
