Seriously, I cvsup the doc stuff the same time I cvsup'd 2.2.6-RELEASE, and there's a section in the FAQ on how PnP devices are detected and initialized, but not really the mechanics of playing with the USERCONFIG stuff in the kernel after booting with -c. I would have thought such an important new feature would be better documented. Oh well, I can understand how one runs out of time. The pnpinfo and pnp and dset man pages are okay, but if you're not all that familiar with Plug n Play stuff, they don't quite tell you what to do. -Dave To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
