No brainer on my part, I am running -current, and you (I guess) aren't :) Remove the 'options USERCONFIG_BOOT' line and delete the stuff I told you to add from kernel.config. You will have to boot -c after you rebuild your kernel and type the stuff I gave you in by hand. Not only type in the lines beginning with 'pnp ...' Hopefully that should work.. --------------------------------------------------------------------- |Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software | |http://www.gsoft.com.au | |The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to| |choose from. -- Andrew Tanenbaum | --------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
