Is anybody successfully using the port emulators/rtc with vmware2 on
-current?

While the port builds and installs fine, a /dev/rtc device never appears.

ISTM that the rtc device does a make_dev as part of the device open()
rather than at module load and that vmware doesn't work like that.

Having no kernel (module) hacking experience, I come to the list for
pointers. I am trying to wrap my head around rtc enough to try make_dev()
at module load time, but maybe someone can give me a hint as to what's
going on.


I'm breaking the rules and running an old -CURRENT from Feb 4, 2002, so
I'll humbly swallow suggestions that I upgrade.

Thanks loads,
dan
