While you're at it... I think it would be nice if the probe messages were printed in some orderly fashion (e.g. like SCO does it)., instead of the current mess. Someone even said that a person who saw FreeBSD booting for the first time was scared that something broke... :-). But, seriously, how about reformatting the probe messages to something like this: Driver Unit Bus Irq Drq IOport Maddr Msize Description ------+----+---+---+---+------+-------+-----+---------------------------- ed 0 ISA 5 - 0x300 0xd8000 --- NE2000-compat Ethernet card fdc 0 ISA 6 2 0x3f0 --- --- Floppy drive controller etc, etc, with more details available on request (i.e. boot: -v). This should give a much better first-time impression... Andrzej Bialecki -------------------- ++-------++ ------------------------------------- <abial@nask.pl> ||PicoBSD|| FreeBSD in your pocket?
