http://phk.freebsd.dk/patch/major.patch (This patch is automatically generated.) This patch removes the static major device number assignments from a boatload of device drivers in order to free up some major numbers which can be assigned dynamically. I have excluded from this patch: .../mem.c contrib dev/cx (doesn't compile when my script has chewed on it) dev/sound (ditto) any device which my script didn't recognize. I'm currently running this patch through a "make universe" and plan on committing it next saturday (21/2). If there are drivers which should be excluded from this patch, please send me an email before thursday and please explain why.
