Although I'm happy to accept the patch as is but with the buffer reduced from 1024 to 256 bytes. An overhead of 256 bytes of data + tens of bytes of code I can live with, especially as it falls on the FreeBSD booters, not the Linux booters. :-) But in the long term, a third stage for FreeBSD would allow functionality to be moved there. |
