Hi,

I'd wish to find information on how to install a new ISA card on my
FreeBSD 3.2 station from A to Z (I've never done so before, and I cannot

find much information in the handbook about this...)
Of course, I've got the proper driver sources.

So far, I've fancied that it could be something like:

 - Potentially adding a device-node with a 'sh MAKEDEV device-name'
   (but what is this name for ISA card #2?)

 - Then fill in the /sys/conf/files with required driver files
   is the following example line correct?
   'MY_PATH/device_name_driv.c optional device_name device-driver'

 - Then alter the GENERIC file (or a copy of it) as to take the new
   device into account:
   'device device_name'

 - Finally configure compile and install the new kernel with the
   well-known sequence:
   'cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
    config MY_NEW_KERNEL
    cd ../../compile/MY_NEW_KERNEL
    make depend
    make
    make install'


Would somebody tell me what to read or what to do more, and possibly
correct theabove procedure?

Thanks to you all!

        Eric
