I certainly > hope we won't have to manually configure PnP devices on each new kernel boot! You now use the new 3rd stage boot loader to pass this information to your running kernel. First, you should remove the USERCONFIG line from the start of the file (probably /kernel.config). Then in /boot/boot.conf: load /kernel load -t userconfig_script /kernel.config autoboot The magic is the 'load -t userconfig_script' command. Again, you need to use the new 3rd stage booter to do this; this doesn't necessarily require the new boot1/boot2 boot blocks, but you might consider that a the same time. You can try the new loader by "booting" /boot/loader and then the commands above. louie To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
