Installation and the 1024 cylinder boot problem

Recently I had to install 5.1-RELEASE at 60GB, and had a lot of troubles to start booting correctly. I hope that /stand/sysinstall have to handle 1024 cylinder booting. Otherwise I have to run 'boot0cfg' manually to fix this issue. MuTk0 ___ [EMAIL

4.6.1-rc2 booting

Hi, I donwloaded 4.6.1-rc2.ISO and tried to install it on machine with Solaris 8. Instalation went perfect, except that after booting FreeBSD boot-manager allows only to boot from Solaris x86 partition (1st partition). I can start FreeBSD from /dev/ad0s3a when boot from installation CDROM, but

Magic number 100 in /sys/kern/kern_fork.c

I've review /sys/kern/kern_fork.c file and have a question why the room of 100 process numbers is hardcoded in the source? I think that if such room is needed, it must be defined somewhere in headers, isn't it. Can someone explain me more the idea about that room? -- Dimitar Peikov Programmer

sysctl and MAXDSIZ
