Greetings, I have a simple question I am hoping (read: praying) you can answer because I am out of answers myself. I've tried asking quite a few people, checked over the net, help files, etc. I am not very advanced in FreeBSD, I decided to try something new, I usually use Debian Linux distro's :) Anyway, I've had this CD for a little while now, few months, decided to install it on an older laptop I have and wanted to get the sound going, so I checked around and found a help page for it, simple enough accept it stated that a few things needed to be set in the kernel config, I got half way through it and here's my problem. I got the generic file and edit it to my liking. config SRE (being the name of my kernel file) and get:

SRE:0: unknown option "MAXUSERS"

now what i've done to test this problem to see why it's having problems, was to remove the maxusers line in the config, it set the default to 8 then gave the error again, which was completely amusing since the line no-longer existed :/ Any Ideas? I needed to add the "option PNPBIOS" in there as well as "device pcm"
