********** kldload ufs ***********
i feel that a real microkernel OS should'nt have a
bloated kernel in the sense, that heavy OS equipment
like a FileSystem should run as a module on top of the
kernel.
i aim to make ufs run as a module on FreeBSD, which
surely would require a lot of serious kernel
code<-entry points.
-------------- pitfall --------------------
1. the system after boot will load the kernel image
into core from disc.
2. kernel runs init.
3. if init fails, then access to disk is'nt possible
as the filesystem module is not running.
** i do not know how HURD does it **
--------------------------------------------
i have'nt done a lot of kernel hacking so if anyone
can shed some light on this subject, i'd be really
grateful
