We now have a facility for autoallocating major numbers for device drivers at run time. We will accept no more allocations in sys/conf/majors, unless very good and unavoidable circumstances forces a particular device driver to require a static major number. Please help remove entries in sys/conf/majors for which there exists no software, and convert drivers to use "MAJOR_AUTO" instead of using static major numbers. Thanks in advance! -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
