Oh, dear, that should work. I've not installed a FreeBSD alpha system so I can't check this. ispmbox.h isn't getting included. I don't think that __FreeBSD__ must be getting defined in this case. Under NetBSD this file lives in dev/ic, but under FreeBSD it's under dev/isp. What compiler are you using? If the NetBSD one, you'd better make some define changes 'coz the isp driver lives in both worlds (as well as others) and assumes the layouts as driven by correct defines!
