They'll go away soon, and there are much better things to spend your time worrying about. IF and ONLY IF the PNPBIOS code is causing your machine to fail, do the following: - Send me FULL DETAILS; this will need to include the trap messages and, if the trap is in the kernel, a DDB traceback. - Read the loader's online help for details on disabling use of the PnP BIOS. Note - just turning it off and not letting us fix this is a Really Stupid Idea, and I'd hope that you can see why. -- \\ Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. \\ Mike Smith \\ Tell him he should learn how to fish himself, \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ and he'll hate you for a lifetime. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
