Hi, I wonder if somebody add/remove the kernel options that came & went with FreeBSD 8.0. For example: Those that seemed to have disappeared: machine i386 options GEOM_GPT options COMPAT_43 options ADAPTIVE_GIANT New ones that appeared in GENERIC (at least: they are not discussed in the Handbook, 8.6): options SCTP options UFS_GJOURNAL options GEOM_PART_GPT options GEOM_LABEL options COMPAT_43TTY options COMPAT_FREEBSD6 options COMPAT_FREEBSD7 options STACK options P1003_1B_SEMAPHORES options PRINTF_BUFR_SIZE=128 Regards, R.

I'd file a PR with your findings and assign it to the doc category. Thanks for the keen eyes :)! -Garrett

This still should be in there according to NOTES.It's not in the GENERIC kernel configuration... There is, however: options COMPAT_43TTY Is that a mistake then? R.

Is this documented somewhere? Thanks. R.
