There is little or no chance that the loader will gain the ability to write back to filesystems. Some of them don't support it (eg. iso9660), others may not (TFTP, NFS), and the code required for some of them (especially UFS) would be problematically large. -- \\ The mind's the standard \\ Mike Smith \\ of the man. \\ msm...@freebsd.org \\ -- Joseph Merrick \\ msm...@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
