Re: [PATCH] FreeBSD 64-bit kernel support

[Chip Panarchy]

Hello

Sorry, I forgot to thank PHcoder.

Thank you also PHcoder, with Bean's patch, and your
enchancements/patch-of-patch, I should be able to successfully install
FreeBSD 64-bit onto a Logical Partition
(http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=3248), by using the GRUB2
bootloader, instead of the FreeBSD BootLoader.

So much thanks to both PHcoder and Bean!

You have greatly helped me (and others), this will help me so much!!!

Thanks once again,

Panarchy
