I can run Mach4/Lites/FreeBSD 2.0 ok.  However, some Mach3/UX42
binary (netmsgserver) failed to function properly in the above
environment therefore I hope Mach3/Lites/FreeBSD can make it
work.  Unfortunately, some people suggest the problem was not
on microkernel side.

But the READMEs under mk/flat suggest that Deboor make (pmake)
from *BSD system can make the kernel provided the kernel src tree
has been flattened first.  That's why I want to know if anyone
has successfully compiled it by using Deboor make.

I've made the followup to this message to the above group.
