That FAQ entry seems a bit outdated. It was correct for FreeBSD 3.x, but FreeBSD 4.x does not have "controller pnp0" and there is no longer any support for manual pnp-configuration at boot time. There are probably several other entries in the FAQ that were correct when written but where the given answers no longer applies to current software versions. -- Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
