For those interesting in installing 3.0-BETA on a machine with a DPT card, I
have created a boot.flp for your enjoyment which is located at:

http://home.ican.net/~josh/FreeBSD/boot.flp

This image is based on a SNAP from sometime today - 9/25.

The only change between this boot disk, and the standard one is that it adds
support for dpt0, but removes support for ahb0, isp0, adv0, bt0, and aha0. I
figure that this isnt much of a hardship, cause it likely that its the DPT you
want to boot from, not the other controllers :)

Unfortunately, until I'm able to bring my SyJet into work, I cant put up the
rest of the release for download. This means that you wont be able to boot
after completing the install. I've placed the fixit.flp from the release in
the same directory, to help people deal with this.

Oh. Btw. I noticed that GENERIC claims that 

options DPT_MEASURE_PERFORMANCE

is optional when activating dpt0, but the kernel compile falls on its face
with it defined. There is a note in  LINT saying dont use it however.
