PHYSICAL. if you want virutal you need to use /dev/kmem.

isn't /dev/kmem some sort of core file with structures resembling core files ?
how does that relate to virtual memory (isn't virtual memory unique

(btw is there any documentation regarding /dev/kmem ? couldn't really find...)

thanks,
George.
