At boot (or boot/reconfigure) : time, you tentatively load all drivers and enter their identify entry point : with a dev_info_t asking, "do you drive this device?". Simple enough. The hard : part is to try (if you think it's important) to arbitrate between several : different drivers who want to drive that device. Most of this is present in FreeBSD right now, except for load all drivers at boot and unload the ones that don't probe. We're moving away from hard wired configuration, so it becomes more and more possible to have all drivers just load and unload as needed.
