Well, first, this has been introduced only on -current at the present time. I am in no hurry to mfc, because this thing has just been introduced. I want the freedom to make drastic changes, and I'll loose that once it gets on the stable three. If you are running -stable, you'll be able to use it if you import -current's sys/boot and sys/sys/linker.h, cd /sys/boot ; make depend && make all install. OTOH, you might solve your problem just by adding the following two lines to /boot/loader.rc load kernel load -t userconfig_script /kernel.config and then putting your pnp configuration line on /kernel.config (if it is not there already). This will work on both current and stable, so I think I ought to mention it. :-) Now, back to the loader.rc stuff, in case you _are_ running -current... it should have installed the following files: /boot/loader.4th /boot/support.4th /boot/defaults/loader.conf The last file is all you really need as example. A man page is in the works. It is queued right after the loader man page, which has been a real drag to write, but I think I might be committing it today. But the loader.conf man page won't really add anything for you that is not in /boot/defaults/loader.conf. -- Daniel C.
