Dear Jack,

Thanks for the information. I went ahead and tried that, but when I tried
to configure the new custom kernel, I got this error message:

 root@sonic:/sys/i386/conf> /usr/sbin/config CUSTOM2
 config: CUSTOM2:156: devices with zero units are not likely to be correct

I decided to stop there rather than compile a possibly flakey kernel. Is
this error message anything to worry about, or am I doing something wrong?

regards,
Robert
