It's not only kbd that needs : newbusification and fb(4) is really full of ISA/BIOS stuff. : : Anyway: this is beyond just newbusification... We can't support the various PCMCIA/CardBus docking stations easily in FreeBSD right now because kbd and other 'basic' things haven't been newbusified. Maybe we should just do a wscons port, now that it has shown its use in NetBSD. wscons is very portable, but a little less user friendly than syscons. syscons gives a better user experience, but tends to be a little x86 centric.
