I'm attempting to build a custom kernel for my PC which will include =
support for my sound card and it is failing during the "make" step.

I'm using 4.3-RELEASE on my system (just installed from CD created from =
the ISO image).  My sound card is an SoundBlaster 64AWE ISA card.

The current sound card entries in my config file are: =20
    device        sb0
    device        awe0

I think I must be missing something - or not understanding something.  I =
have read and re-read the audio discriptions in the LINT file but can't =
find any direct reference to my card though there are references to =
other SoundBlaster cards.  Can you please let me know what I entries I =
should have?  Just for your into, the LINT file directed me to =
/src/sys/i386/isa/sound/sound.doc for a further reference.  It appears =
this file is quite out of date since it instructed me to use the =
"controller" keyword rather than "device".  Unfortunately, this file =
wasn't much help.

Also, although my sound card is PnP, my BIOS is set for a non-PnP =
operating system.  I'm assuming that FreeBSD is not considered to be a =
PnP OS?  Is this a valid assumption?

Thanks very much for your help.

Phil.
