I've been playing around with the boot loader(8), which seems to be a
very powerful piece of software. However I'm really only using the 'load',
'unload', and 'boot' functions. I'd be interested in hearing about more
powerful uses of this software.
Are there any great hacks of FICL that people ha

I am writing this after reading two responses, both of which I am grateful

late than never, I guess.

already considered. I thought perhaps my BIOS requi

OK, I'm glad about fstab and my mount points, but I have already tried

Hello All:
I have a student this semester in my Operating Systems class who would like

that he learn a bit about how device drivers are written in FreeBSD
as a minor project. My questions are:
