Why is pccardd so late in the startup? I notice that it is being compiled static (through direct CFLAGS specification, instead of setting NOSHARED, though), but... Since aic0 is an indispensible part of my system (it has my local/, my X11R6, my dumpdev and my /var/crash, among other things), I finally tired of waiting my setup script finish post-boot, and decided to see if I could get pccardd to do what flag -z does (man pages are wonderful :). Motivated, I further investigated /etc/rc, and moved pccard initialization to right before swapon, edited my fstab, added dumpdev to my /etc/rc.conf (with the -z), moved pccard* and logger to /sbin and voila'! Things now work as I need them to. Now, I know the new card stuff is going to be very different, but will I have the ability to get my aic drives up and running before swapon gets run? Depending on how things are planned to work, I'd suggest adding some sort of flag by which devices that need to get going earlier, such as aic, can be probed for separately (and earlier) than those that need to be brought up later, for whatever reasons. MMMmmmmm. Maybe I should cc this somewhere. :-) I'll cc it to -mobile. -- Daniel C.
