That can also be bad if they get duplicated. Actually this was not Peter's suggestion. His suggestion was don't have the kernel providing hints. Rather let the loader do it. For GENERIC this means either rm'ing GENERIC.hints, or cp /dev/null GENERIC.hints (will survive a `cvs up' better than rm'ing the hints). -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
