You'll find the file with lines such as "di sn0" (meaning disable the sn device driver) in /boot/kernel.conf. You can edit this file or delete the specific lines, since the drivers no longer need to be disabled on boot--you have taken them out of your kernel. Of course, they remain in kernel.GENERIC. > ----snip---- Annelise -- Annelise Anderson Author of: FreeBSD: An Open-Source Operating System for Your PC Available from: BSDmall.com and amazon.com Book Website: http://www.bittreepress.com/FreeBSD/introbook/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
