I have applied the patch to the various files and double checked the changes, and when I build a new kernel with the GENERICISA configuration I get a reboot after trying to print something to /dev/lp (I did mknod). More exactly the printer starts to spit out a ROOT banner page and then the system softreboots. Has anyone else had this difficulty or do I have a small error I created? BTW, when I use the LARGE configuration the kernel builds but when I reboot with the new kernel the boot loader complains that the file (386bsd) is too large to load, andd tries to load 386bsd.alt and 386bsd.old. What is causing this? So, that is two quick questions, but oh well. Any help would be great. Please respond via e-mail because I have yet to catch up on this newgroup, and I want to read all messages. dri@apollo.gl.pitt.edu __
