Hi,
I have a couple of general questions regarding the
kernel: I'll appreciate any help whatsoever in this
regard.
 
1) In the ioconf.c file I see an entry for a resource 

   as:
  { "at", RES_STRING,     { (long)"isa" }},
                            ^^^^^^^
   Shouldnt (long) be (char*) ?
2) what purpose does SYSINIT serve?

thanks for your time,
SJ
