As it is now, it is quite a hassle to complete something as simple as a network install of FreeBSD on an affected computer. My question is, when will PCI_ENABLE_IO_MODES be default? I know it will be by 5.0-RELEASE (hope?), but it would be nice to have it in there soon so people could install SNAPSHOT releases directly, or maby as a seperate disk-image if it makes some kind of trouble for other configurations. Having this in 5.0-DP2 would be nice ;) -- Mvh, Frode Nordahl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
