The areas I said I would map would not be used by the OS for virtual memory pages. BIOS, UMB, Video Frame Buffer all are excluded from use as normal RAM, aren't they? The majority of the time I would be executing the following sequence: 1) Map memory ares. 2) Read memory data. (BIOS VPD, BIOS tables, Video BIOS info, Video info) 3) Unmap memory area. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
