I don't know a good way to handle this other than attempt to load every module (like Microsoft NT installer does) - and hope the probe of a driver that doesn't claim a device doesn't leave that device in a bad state. Have you tried putting every module in /boot/kernel into loader.conf in a "load" statement? -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org)
