It's all my fault 8) I made the (obviously lame) assumption that dset just read the condfig out of the running kernel and wrote it back into the one on disk. This is obviously at least partly true, as if you don't boot with -c, userconfig() is never called. Let's guess; dset uses the unexplained save_dev function and the isa_device list created by userconfig 8) I'll fix this ASAP. > Second question is lame, but - how da hell i am getting this userconfig > to work.I have pcvt and when entering this nice red config screen(could we > PLEEASE change pcvt defaults???) - only buttons which work for me are TAB > and ENTER so the only thing i can do is expand first list of devices and that's > it....I guess this is some incompatibility betwin pcvt and config but this > does not helps me much... This is a major stumbling block just now; it looks like pcvt doesn't actually _do_ cursor keys at that point in the boot process, so I'm considering asking Jordan to pull the plug on the new userconfig until I manage to work that out. (serial console operation appears to be broken as well 8( ) > --Ugen Sorry for any inconvenience. -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] My car has "demand start" -Terry Lambert UNIX: live FreeBSD or die!
