This is cute... If you disable a device using /boot/device.hints like so: hint.ppc.0.disabled="1" hint.ppc.1.disabled="1" hint.ppbus.0.disabled="1" hint.ppbus.1.disabled="1" you get this: ppc1: <ECP parallel printer port> at port 0x378-0x37f,0x778-0x77b irq 7 drq 3 on isa0 or how about this: hint.fdc.0.at="isa" hint.fdc.0.port="0x3F0" hint.fdc.0.irq="6" hint.fdc.0.drq="2" hint.fd.0.at="fdc0" hint.fd.0.drive="0" hint.fd.1.at="fdc0" hint.fd.1.drive="1" hint.fdc.0.disabled="1" hint.fdc.1.disabled="1" hint.fd.0.disabled="1" hint.fd.1.disabled="1" results in: fdc1: <NEC 72065B or clone> at port 0x3f2-0x3f5,0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2 on isa0 I'm not sure what's going on here, i know that even "boot -c" then doing "di <devices>" doesn't seem to work anymore. What I'd like you to do is try to disable your floppy drive and/or lpt port without removing it from your kernel. If it's possible please let me know. thanks, -- -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@wintelcom.net|alfred@freebsd.org] Daemon News Magazine in your snail-mail! http://magazine.daemonnews.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
