Done! Have rebooted 18 times today. Looks like another is on the way.
I've had the darndest problems with a pure elf kernel (first time I've
tried that). It seems that when I'd do a "shutdown -r" as myself (a
member of group "operator") that /etc/nologin was not being deleted.
Proceeded to update /etc/rc* for proper /modules loading. That didn't
help. Think when I changed out /etc/login.conf things got fixed. Am
thinking as soon as "make buildworld" is fixed again it is time for a
clean disk reinstall.
BTW: not only is the above option not in GENERIC, its not in LINT
either. Looked there (actually for other things) before posting. Grep
just found it for me in /usr/src/sys/pci/ncr.c.
You mean this is all there was to it and I've been without a blinking
light all this time? You mean all they had to do was smack one tiny tiny
little bit? Doesn't seem worth and ifdef. :-) Can only assume somebody
knows more than I do and this is really important to keep from breaking
something.
#ifdef SCSI_NCR_SYMBIOS_COMPAT
if (!(np->rv_gpcntl & 0x01))
np->features |= FE_LED0;
#if 0 /* Not safe enough without NVRAM support or user settable option */
if (!(INB(nc_gpreg) & 0x08))
np->features |= FE_DIFF;
#endif
#endif /* SCSI_NCR_SYMBIOS_COMPAT */
