Passing this on to freebsd-questions and freebsd-hardware (originally posted 
in -stable), because I am unsure of which ml is most on topic.

Hi,

>From memory it is now built in...you no longer need to specify it in your
>config file...but I can't find where that is documented.

I have 'option PNPBIOS' enabled in my config file, however as far as manual 
configuration of ISA PnP devices at boot goes, can this be done anymore?  I 
was under the impression that you could use config> pnp ... commands to 
accomplish assigning specific devices IO, IRQ, DMA.  And to disable devices. 
  This allowed FreeBSD to change these parameters at boot manually and for 
device drivers to manually specify ISA PnP resources.

I have tried booting into userconfig and entering the pnp commands manually; 
the follow appears:

config> pnp
Invalid command or syntax.  Type `?' for help.
config> ?
Command                 Description

But, NO 'pnp' command anymore.

I will send out a message to freebsd-docs about the manpage but I am still 
unclear as to what has changed, and why.
