It appears i386 FreeBSD 4.7, along with the rest of the 4.x series
requires the positive-zeros geometry output.

Attached is the switch. I assume that 4.6 and recent alpha releases
also require positive-zeros.

I thought I remembered this......

Rod,
Do you have any CPU optimization flags set in /etc/make.conf?

What processor are you running on?

(my answers are:
no
P-IIIm).

Rod,
Do you have any CPU optimization flags set in /etc/make.conf?

(my answers are:
no
P-IIIm).

This was a Celeron based laptop (Thinkpad X20). 4.7 release upgraded
from 2.2.2 -- so I imagine a little bit of cruft has been left around.

For the curious, I have done several disk-copies for laptop upgrades.

No special compile settings. (./configure; make install)

Ok.. Got a few more 4.7 boxes laying around:

Compaq Quad Xeon (700Mhz) [fresh install two weeks ago] - positive-zeros

Low end Compaq (900Mhz PIII) [upgraded from 4.3] - positive-zeros

FreeBSD 4.6 on Dual 400Mhz celerons [upgraded from 4.0]- negative-zeros
-- no-diffs --

Looks like 4.7 reverses a patch that went into 4.6. Is it possible you
were testing 4.7-STABLE rather than RELEASES? It may have gone back in
by that point.

Re: Resultmap for FreeBSD 4.7

Yes, I'm running -STABLE.

No, the behavior was fixed (as in: it correctly shows negative zeros now)
in the stable branch after the 4.7 release. Unfortunately, there is no
version number distinguishing the release and the branch.

Re: Resultmap for FreeBSD 4.7

Actually, you can tell from __FreeBSD_Version in /usr/include/sys/param.h
