Hi Eric,
I have done this, but nothing happens. I don't get any entries into syslog
after running devd -dD I get this:
hole# devd -dD
Parsing /etc/devd.conf
ethernet-nic-regex=(an|ar|ath|aue|awi|bfe|bge|cm|cnw|cs|cue|dc|de|ed|el|em|ep|

scsi-controller-regex=(adv|advw|aic|aha|ahb|ahc|ahd|bt|ct|iir|isp|mly|mpt|ncv|
nsp|stg|sym|wds)[0-9]+
Parsing files in /etc/devd
Parsing files in /usr/local/etc/devd
How would I enable devd on boot? I didn't see anything in the /etc/rc*
scripts. I also don't see anything when I unplug the power to my laptop or
close the lid from the debug output of devd.
Regards,
Brad Davis
