However, before I go changing a whole bunch of identical lines in nearly identical GENERIC files, I'd like to see GENERIC get split into several sub-modules that live in /sys/conf and can be included instead of constantly duplicated. i.e. /sys/conf: /SCSI /BLOCK /NIC /USB /FIREWIRE etc. Again, only for HEAD, not for RELENG_5. Thoughts? Scott
