Hello BSD FS gurus!
 
With all of the traffic going on in comp.unix.bsd, I'm sure someone will
know the answer to my question.

[ Standard Flame Protection Activated ]
I have two Unici.  I have BSDI 1.1, the system in question, and Linux
At work I run on AIX 3.2, SUN-OS 4.1.3 and even an old Interactive Sys V.3.2
(2.2.x).  I love them all - for they are Unix, and they are good (well, the
ISC has a few problems, but its old and cranky -- but I just can't throw it
out.  It's trying,  I can feel it -- even if it doesn't support much.)
I would gladly take them all home to live with me if (a) I had a 
disk farm and (b) other people didn't insist I needed money for other things
like heat, food, or maybe a mortgage.
[ Protection Noted ]

Well, now that I'm covered, I need to know:

Has anyone ever added a proc fs into a BSDI varient before?  (BSDI 1.1
would be great).  In theory, the fs work isn't nasty, the real trick will
be getting at process context and memory pages.  Any pointers that I can
look at?
