I checked in the working code to /usr/src/etc/floppies about a month or so ago.. it should work for 2.1 as well, if 'grafted' into a 2.1 tree. not a soul has commented on it since I checked it in, and I think that even jkh and others have not tried it.. I think it's a great improvement though. You need to have done a "make world" before, so that all the .o files can exist ready for hte crunch program to use them.. julian > > (freebsd-scsi was a good list for your information about the driver > support, but is certainly a poor choice for discussion of `make > release'.
