Thanks, you kick me to rigt way. I use piggyback from sparc directory. I test 
before piggiback64 but that says nothing and I think that doesn't work.
But now I read source make simple patch  to display status of working piggyback 
and woala all works piggyback64 doesn't write new file but modify kenel directly.

			Thanks
