It is not required for a Tier-1 platform to have 32-bit support. Our UltraSparc platform does not have 32-bit support. Nor does any other of our 64-bit platforms. > We also have these boards, I've found them unusable under > FreeBSD/5.3-STABLE with 8GB of RAM--other qualities appear to work okay. > But I even saw some infrequent problems with 6GB.

FreeBSD/amd64 will only get better with your bug reports, testing, and feedback. I searched the GNATS PR database and only saw you've submitted 2 PR's for something we don't claim to really support (32-bit binaries on 64-bit OS). Please submit a PR for the Broadcom and 8GB issues. -- -- David ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
