Once you have stripped out the hints, gethints will find none. GENERIC.hints is the corresponding hints file for what used to be in GENERIC. If you had copied GENERIC to ZIPPY, you should probably use GENERIC.hints as your skeleton for /boot/device.hints Cheers, -Peter -- Peter Wemm - peter@FreeBSD.org; peter@yahoo-inc.com; peter@netplex.com.au "All of this is for nothing if we don't go to the stars" - JMS/B5 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
