have you looked at the FreeBSD source? i suspect you'll have exactly the
same problems, but ISTR that sup came from them...

http://quatermass.ivision.co.uk/RiscBSD/stuff.html has links to
``[comp.unix.bsd]_NetBSD,_FreeBSD,_and_386BSD_(0.1)_FAQ'' - at the moment it
downloads new versions whenever they change on rtfm.mit.edu - this will
change tommorow/tonight since quatermass is leaving ivision and all the
stuffs going onto a virtual server on another machine (the url's will stay
the same but may go a bit flaky as the dns updates it self..)
