>Description:

I just got my SPARCstation 20 running with NetBSD/sparc and enabled the
BLINK option in kernel config. =20

But IMHO the behaviour isn't very intuitive.  Wouldn't it be better
instead of making the load average equivalent to the LED's blink cycle,
making it the blink frequency, i.e. higher load leads to a higher rate?

I discussed this with some guy of the BSD-Crew resp. the Chaos Computer
Club Dresden, and he looks at this the same way.
