Read Dr. Dobbs Journal June-July-August 1992 on "Missing Pieces: Completing 
the 386BSD Kernel" and "Finishing the System: Running Light with 386BSD",
by William and Lynne Jolitz. We discuss these areas in detail (including code).
For more on the source, go to the 386BSD Release 0.1 source code.

Lynne.

Again, for those interested, our next two-parter deals with CDROM, ISO-9660,
and extensions (i.e. Rock Ridge), soon to be added to 386BSD!
