Eventually it will then panic for `going to nowhere without my init'. No idea which controller, it's not a PCI machine so nothing known about it. When making ata the default driver, i'd vote for keeping one instance of a wdc driver (disabled by default) so the bottleneck of not being able to install in such a case could be circumvented. If space goes scarce, we could always throw out matcdc, scd, mcd and wt from the installation floppies... I guess their user base has been rapidly fading during the last years. scd is only confusing people anyway since more than one luser so far assumed this stands for `SCSI CD'. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
