Hello,
Just to clarify things for everyone who may be having this probme:
there is a panic on bootup with current, within the witness* code.
You can avoid this by commenting out WITNESS in your kernel configuration
and recompiling. It worked for me..
Hope this helps someone.
Thanks,

The only way to get people to change their code is to make it complain at
them when they compile it. If a stack is big,
then that's "someone-else's" problem...
I was thinking to only turn it on every now and then,..

I really don't think it is necessary to hack up GCC to figure
out stack utilization. We have issues with only a few drivers
and it is fairly trivial (as my patch shows) to throw a pattern
into the kernel stack to determine how much is actually used.

In a related problem:
we have a set of 4.1.1 binaries we want ot run on 4.4
but they (apache+other stuff) want to find a librsaUSA.so
but can't.. I fixed it by copying the one from 4.1.1 into /usr/lib/compat.
Is that the right answer?
Is it possible we can have a compat librsa?

I see these too, with a FreeBSD-4.4 client and SunOS 5.5.1 servers. Seen them with
FreeBSD-4.2 clients to the same servers as well.

Considering FreeBSD is still known as one of the best server platforms,
this is more important than a multi-threaded kernel or similar stuf

My client is the 4.2-RELEASE box in question. There are several
servers, all of which (at this point) are Netapps.

UDP works fine. ICMP and other raw socket magic doesn't.

Hi,
I am looking for the source code used by the boot floppy to load itself
into memory.
At www.freebsd.org I found a lot of boot source code but I don't really
know which one is intersting for me.
My platform is i386.
Thanks for your help,
Christophe.

These words, 830 of them, were obtained by intersecting the words
in a number of lexicons and then subtracting the words in
/usr/share/dict/web2. This all done with words that contain only
lowercase letters.
You'll find those words at the end of this message. Should you
