[M3devel] help booting CM3 on FreeBSD 4.11?

[Jay]

The main out of date thing about what Tony did is that sysutils might not have existed at the time. His statement as to "all" the one place to cheat on LONGINT is out of date too, it is used in more than one place, but you don't have do this anyway.

You might also try a cross build.. :)
