It is not practical to put _all_ of the supported hardware into the GENERIC kernel. The code for matcd(4) is still in FreeBSD-STABLE. Add it to a custom kernel configuration file, device matcd0 at isa? port 0x230 And build a new kernel. If you have trouble finding the device with the new kernel, please direct questions on the topic to freebsd-questions@freebsd.org or another appropriate list. -- Crist J.
