Because the lkm interface is used to load dynamic kernel modules in OpenBSD, like the man page says. I have been doing this for the OpenAFS client from OpenBSD 3.6 through to 5.2, inclusive, at least for i386. I have no idea what src/lkm used to do but modload work just fine using the lkm interface. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Antoine Verheijen Email: antoine.verhei...@ualberta.ca AICT (formerly CNS) Phone: (780) 492-9312 University of Alberta Fax: (780) 492-1729
