Hell, yes! But "eventually" is not "till the end of month", so I have to use something that doesn't crash when doing newfs(8) during installation now (I'll file a bug in a few days after collecting more info on it). :( > * Stuart Henderson <s...@spacehopper.org> [2009-04-20 11:38]: > > off the top of my head (remembered from bumping into limits with > > flashboot), I think there are some restrictions imposed by ISA, and > > of course some small machines have limited RAM which this eats into.
