    sys/i386/conf        NOTES 
  Log:
  Since this file is doc now, reorganize its structure.
  
  Currently, many drivers support more than one bus of ISA, EISA, MCA,
  PCI.
  
  Before this commit, we had, for example, some SCSI devices listed more
  than once, iirc, some up to three times (ISA/EISA, MCA, PCI).
  
  Since now the "device" line is common for all of them and they only
  differ for the hints stuff, I did the following:
  
  First, list Busses: (E)ISA, MCA, PCI and explain, that only ISA
  needs the hints stuff.
  
  Move NIC/SCSI stuff, which were the only split sections, behind these
  stuff.  Describe all drivers only one time and list all supported
  chips.
  
  List all device (+ hints for ISA, if possible).
  
  I've also added few additional supported chips to some drivers, xl for
  example and some SCSI drivers.
  
  Also, softupdates is no longer disabled by default, so the comment should
  not say, it's not enabled by default due to license issues.
