But you only get a message when a) the appropriate modules aren't statically linked and b) the required modules aren't present. If you're not cutting corners when making a kernel (and installing it), then you should have all the modules, so you should never have a problem with this -- regardless of whether the "additional lines" are included in the kernel config or not. Because of this, I don't consider it to be a bug, but rather, it's similar to attempting to use sound devices without making the requisite entires in /dev -- you can't expect it to work properly with half of the pieces missing. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
