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. >Have you tried booting with -c and using the pnp command? I'm just >guessing here. 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> ?

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