I have the system installed and running. I am trying to unarchive the srcdist tree so I can look at kernel reconfigs, and play with src to the unix commands. Partway through the unpacking (I did "cat src01.*|uncompress|cpio -icdvum"), about where it was extracting stuff to usr/src/obj, the system paniced as follows: Panic: kmem_malloc: kmem_map too small Is this a known problem? Any work-around so I can get the srcdist unpacked? (or do I have to dig out the "extract" program (that unfortunately was in /tmp durng the initial install so is gone now)????
