Hi all

I just cvsupped to FreeBSD-current yesterday, after running stable for
quite a while, mostly because I'd like to try the ACPI support in the
hope that I will extend the battery life on my laptop.

When trying to compile the kernel, I get an error saying I should
install a /boot/device.hints file first.

I don't see anything in the manpages or archives about this. Can someone
please enlighten me as to what this file should be?

TIA
gram
