FreeBSD-questions....thats the place to talk about ditching devices from the GENERIC kernel. ask how many people are running GENERIC. ask how many people know how to make a custom kernel that works. (i get an some message about _hw_float....why???) let those who need/want/can build custom kernels do so. let those who dont/cant/wont run GENERIC, bloated as it may be. jmb ps. all those in favor of removing ed1 and sio2 from GENERIC answer all custom kernle compilation questions. greg lehey can add it as the *first* item in his "how ot get results from freebsd-questions" <evil grin> ;) -- Jonathan M.
