Hi,

maybe it=B4s a stupid question, but this is my first time with FreeBSD 6 =
on AMD64.
Why can=B4t a make device npx work with my custom kernel? I=B4ve done it =
several times when using Intel I386. I=B4ve noticed it doesn=B4t exist =
on GENERIC or NOTES, but I couldn=B4t find why.
I get=20

config: Error: device "npx" is unknown

The only information I could obtain said that my system wouldn=B4t even =
boot if device npx wasn=B4t in my configuration file. And the handbook =
says it=B4s mandatory.
Well, it does work, and all seems ok. Is device npx not needed on a =
kernel built for FreeBSD 6 AMD64?

Thanks,

Estevao
