I have to confess I'm getting lost! The EISA probes are like the PCI probes; they'll pick up the device if it's there, they don't have to be told to look. Does the -v probe actually indicate that it's searching the EISA slots? -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
