By that I mean having a kernel with all supported devices that aren't loadable forces CAM to be in the kernel because some of the SCSI devices aren't (yet) loadable. However, that's relatively easy to fix. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
