Running without an MMU would require some pretty extensive changes (like ripping out the UBC system, replacing fork()+exec() with spawn(), eliminating use of mmap, etc.) We (Wasabi) have thought about doing it a couple of times because sometimes embedded customers come to us wanting MMUless CPUs to run, but it would be a *lot* of work. -- Perry E.
