I can't find any of the e-mail in my archives on the subject. Searching the mailing list archives may turn up something. I think I proposed something like: .Cd "device ed" .Cd "hints CONFIG.hints" .Cd hint.ed.0.at="isa" .Cd hint.ed.0.port="0x280" .Cd hint.ed.0.irq="10" .Cd hint.ed.0.maddr="0xd8000" etc... Then there should be a hints(4) manpage to describe the hints file format. The section 4 man pages that require hints should also xref this man page. I thought someone was following up on this, but apparently not. If you can't locate the message thread in the mailing list archives, let me know and I can probably dig it up. -Mike -- Mike Pritchard mpp@FreeBSD.org or mpp@mppsystems.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
