OK, most of the uarts I've seen, but not all, on the MIPS boards, are 16C550 style UARTs. All the same it would be desirable not to enable 'options uart_ns8520' in all cases. > Please provide other grounds for reversal. I didn't point this out in my original message, but my concern with the commit as a whole, was more to do with the fact that GEOM_MBR and GEOM_BSD were being enabled by default. For a kernel shipping on a system where there are no UFS filesystems or DOS style partitions, and often a 1MB kernel size limit (which may be compressed) it might be more desirable not to ship those by default. Same re uart_ns8250. thanks, BMS
