It seems to be the case that the possibility of specifying a major number of NOMAJ in DEV_MODULE has vanished. cdevsw_add() doesn't have any code for handling NOMAJ any longer. (The only mention I can find of NOMAJ in a -current kernel tree from 19990811 are these: ./alpha/alpha/promcons.c:284:DEV_MODULE(prom, CDEV_MAJOR, NOMAJ, prom_cdevsw, 0, 0); ./sys/param.h:128:#define NOMAJ 256 /* non-existent device */ which makes me wonder how the promcons works...). Is this intentional that there isn't there any support for dynamically assigning major device numbers or is it an accident that I should go and rectify? /assar To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
