If I understand things correctly, boot2 handles the switch to protected mode (as well as enabling A20), both loader(8) and the kernel begin their execution in a protected mode environment. Can I get an absolute confirmation on this? Obviously if this is not the case, then there will need to be another (protected mode) entry point into the kernel.
No. *boot* and *loader should be the same on X32 and AMD64. The kernel seems to switch to long mode in /sys/amd64/amd64/mpboot.S Bye/2 --- Michael Reifenberger mich...@reifenberger.com http://www.Reifenberger.com _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
