Hi,

maybe itīs a stupid question, but this is my first time with FreeBSD 6 on AMD64.
Why canīt a make device npx work with my custom kernel? Iīve done it several times when using Intel I386. Iīve noticed it doesnīt exist on GENERIC or NOTES, but I couldnīt find why.
I get 

config: Error: device "npx" is unknown

The only information I could obtain said that my system wouldnīt even boot if device npx wasnīt in my configuration file. And the handbook says itīs mandatory.
Well, it does work, and all seems ok. Is device npx not needed on a kernel built for FreeBSD 6 AMD64?

Thanks,

Estevao
