Maybe with some BIOS tweak? 4.0 will have a complete PnP system, including automagic detection and configuration, support for pnpbios (and probably acpi). The code is in -current now and being tested. By the time 4.0 ships we should have enough drivers so that you can have a kernel config with *no* custom settings at all and it will detect all your hardware magically. -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Nonlinear Systems Ltd.
