Is anyone interested in this type of thing.  I know that the
kernel is a very sacred place (unlike linux).  But there may
be people who have (possibly proprietary) drivers for other
platforms (SCO comes to mind) that would be interested in
FreeBSD if they could get they're drivers ported.

I've been toying with the idea of writing this for a while now.
The scope would be more on how to build a driver for FreeBSD, not
unix in general.  Meaning BSD specific entry points, config-ing
the kernel, device drivers as lkms, etc.

I have more or less an outline which I intend to work from.
If there is interest, I'll help round it out for the handbook.
If not, I'll just write it up for my personal notes.

eric.
