But was linprocfs mounted as /compat/linux/proc?

I applied Greg Lewis' jdk15 patch he sent yesterday (at 
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-java/2005-September/004329.html) 
to the java/jdk15 port and I've successfully built the port on amd64 
with it today.  I tried building and installing it earlier today before 
I applied the patch, and it failed during the install with the "can't 
dump" error...

IIRC, I was able to fetch and install all the amd64 packages for Linux 
compatibility on my new amd64 machine installed from 6.0BETA2, and the 
Linux JDK worked just fine for me...  I used portinstall, and I 
explicitly set PACKAGESITE to retrieve the binary packages from 
ftp://ftp2.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-6-current/All...

Good luck!
