You want to do the same thing for pci? There's a LOT of stuff that depends on that! :) I don't think that trying to add comments to keep people from doing really dumb thing with config files is doing to fix the problem. Theres a reason we have a whole section in the Handbook on kernel configuration, and we still have people doing dumb things :) Also note there is a "don't remove this" comment on npx, which you would think keep people from screwing around with it to much. -- Doug White | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve dwhite@gumbysoft.com | www.FreeBSD.org
