Not, mind you, that Solaris is a shining example of how to handle kernel
loading, in my mind.  Slow as hell.  Good, I suppose, if you're determined
to distribute without source access, but I really hope we're not headed
that direction (/etc/system, .conf files and the whole mess (isn't that
a direct hand-me-down from SVRx? (No, I'm not bitching about the SVRx,
I just want to know WHERE the hell Solaris got it -- it's not original
to Sun, is it?))).
