Because I cant be bothered typing too much, heres the paste from my
todo list (with annotations):
- Get experimental Plug'n'Play driver so I dont have to boot to
DOS first to get my sound card activated.
- where can I get this experimental PnP driver I've
heard about ?
- Fix CPU speed detection
- hard code the speed - defines ?
- hard code the method - defines ?
- Worked at 2.1R
Since 2.1R about a quarter of all boots get wild
CPU speeds reported for my P90... ~40MHz -> ~75MHz
This then fills my message logs with heaps of
calcru: negative time messages... the only solution
is to keep rebooting until I get 90.20MHz reported.
It seems to happen regardless of the "X Hz differs
from default of Y Hz by more than 1%" messages that
I get every now and then on boot.
- Fix PCI bus probing
- The first time I boot FreeBSD it fails to detect my
PCI bus and hence my NCR SCSI card and hence my
SCSI HDDs. On the second boot (which I have put
into /etc/rc) it probes the PCI bus ALWAYS !
- Fix ATAPI cdrom driver
- Didn't lock the machine at 2.1R
- Used to find itself too... didn't
have to make it STATIC. Prolly
wasn't a LKM then though.

"If it is true that our Universe has a zero net value for all conserved
quantities, then it may simply be a fluctuation of the vacuum of some
larger space in which our Universe is imbedded. In answer to the
question of why it happened, I offer the modest proposal that our
Universe is simply one of those things which happen from time to time."
