I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but I'll ask anyway. Why can't we get boot floppy support for all the pccard devices simply by doing this: * Add the card0, pcic0, and pcic1 devices to GENERIC. * Add pccardd and pccard.conf to the built-in install filesystem. * Add code in sysinstall to start up pccardd at initialization time. Why wouldn't this work? John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
