I may be missing something. I don't quite follow the benefit of the new 'DEFAULTS' file. I'm also curious why we don't explicitly 'include' DEFAULTS in GENERIC vs. the new automagic include feature. I wonder if someone might trip over this not realizing everything that winds up in their config file. I for one have been using io.ko and mem.ko after coping GENERIC to FOO and removing the 'io' and 'mem' devices. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org)
