Wasn't someone already doing this? At any rate, we are definitely going to need a list of rogue DSDTs and something in the loader (for the installer case) which can detect them and take appropriate action. Booting from CD you have the luxury of having them all in place; the rogue list and the required replacement AML will have to be copied by the installer. Floppy install will probably have to force you to copy the AML to a new floppy and feed it in as part of the boot process. = Mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
