>NetBSD has got ttymalloc & ttyfree; added into tty.[ch]. Don't know if >they are correct but hope so. FreeBSD doesn't need ttymalloc or ttyfree because clists are self-initialzing (after they are bzeroed) and explicityly freed. >i386/conf.c is is pretty different; implemented the necessary fancy macros >NetBSD has for exploding cdevsw entries and declarations. Leave rest to >someone else; this should be merged. Drivers should initialize the entries for themself so that conf.c doesn't have to know about 10001 interface functions. This will be easier when we have devfs. Now, conf.c has to know at least enough about all drivers to allocate fixed major numbers and enough table space for them. Bruce
