To do this, you need to have the kernel sources. In the directory /sys/i386/conf you should find a file called GENERIC. (If you've already configured your kernel for something else, use that config file.) Say you call the new config file MYKERNEL. Uncomment or add the line that says: device psm0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" conflicts tty irq 12 vector psmintr Then run the following commands (taken right out of the handbook!): # /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL # cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL # make # make install HTH, Matt -- Matthew Gessner, Computer Scientist, <mgessner@aristar.com> Aristar, Inc. 302 N.
