I dare say 99% of folks don't touch /boot/device.hints - and given this is somewhat of a regression for VMware using folks (and they cannot share /etc/rc.conf any longer), what should we do? 1. Comment out the hint - figuring it isn't really needed in 8.0? 2. Hack things so that 'le' is treated as before with the trip thru acpi(4)? -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) Q: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation.
