Hello there, First of all : my apologies for the words i'll use... i'm in love with FreeBSD for 8 months only. I've got a somewhat unusual need : i'd like to trigger the init code from /dev/lpt*'s driver, while running multi-user. Let me explain : lazyless makes me not seeking for one of these power cables, so i've got to switch between my CRT and the printer during boot-time. Not smart :( I tried and had a look at kernel's init sequence, but my C lessons are now far away, and hacking into FBSD's internals isn't so easy to me. So, i'd appreciate your suggestions about it : is there a signal i could send the kernel to force it redetecting my hardware (well, only the lpt subroutines) ? Maybe there's a function i could call, or something else ? Thank you very much, Francis.
