I've burned up too much time over the holidays on trying to get our loader

anywhere.
If anyone has such a box and wants a starting point, go here:-

Hi all,
As per Sam's suggestion, I've been working on refactoring ifconfig(8),
which has grown increasingly large and unwieldy. Part of the effort has
been to get a handle on all of the options we currently support; so I've
written a YACC grammar for it.
This is my first serious bit of work with

I'm intrigued by this. Is it possible to build DVDs which will boot on
i386 and/or a variety of architectures? FAQ pointers welcome...

You don't specify which version of the kernel you're programming to; so
I'll assume 5.x.

All,
Here are detailed design documents for determining cache and TLB
geometry across our currently supported processor architectures,
with recommendations outlined for implementation.
