If you do "grep sis /sys/i386/conf/LINT", then you will this entry. device sis # Silicon Integrated Systems SiS 900/SiS 7016 Be sure to make copy of LINT and GENERIC. Start your kernel customization on copied GENERIC, not the others. Put above entry into your own kernel then compile it. If you don't know how to prepare, create, compile then install your own kernel, consult handbook or follow this handbook link from freebsd.org: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html Read entire chapter, then proceeed to your kernel creation. Be sure that you have kernel.GENERIC available in your root partition. If something goes wrong and you need to boot to make amend, you can always do this: 1. At booting point where it tells you could interupt the booting, interupt it by pressing space bar. 2. at "ok" prompt, type this: unload boot kernel.GENERIC Now system boots and you should make your adjustment.
