Hi Beto,

Darn ol' linux.ko.  That was the problem.  For some reason that module
didn't get loaded.  Sigh, I guess I need to say darn ol' operator, eh.

It worked immediately after I did kldload linux.

I always thought that that was what linux_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf did.

I guess I'll need to load it out of /boot/loader.conf.  I don't remember 
doing this
before but maybe when I installed some linux program the installation 
took care
of it for me.

So anyway.  Thank you very much.

Most Respectfully,

Duane Whitty
