If you want to go to extremes, require the user to put zfs.zfs.run_on_32_bit_and_i_understand_i_am_an_idiot_and_this_is_not_recommended=1 in loader.conf, or else have the kernel panic by design on boot. But don't make it totally impossible without patching the source, *please*. Obviously the exception is if development for i386 stops such that it actually does not work. But disallowing it for artificial reasons... please leave things like that to proprietary hardware/software vendors trying to squeeze money of out consumers, and leave it out of a free operation system. -- / Peter Schuller PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller <peter.schuller_at_infidyne.com>' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to getpgpkey_at_scode.org E-Mail: peter.schuller_at_infidyne.com Web: http://www.scode.org
