This is cute...
If you disable a device using /boot/device.hints like so:
hint.ppc.0.disabled="1"
hint.ppc.1.disabled="1"
hint.ppbus.0.disabled="1"
hint.ppbus.1.disabled="1"
you get this:
ppc1: <ECP parallel printer port> at port 0x378-0x37f,0x778-0x77b irq 7 drq 3 on
isa0
or how about this:
hint.fdc.0.at="isa"
hint.fdc.0.port="0x3F0"
hint.fdc.0.irq="6"
hint.fdc.0.drq="2"
hint.fd.0.at="fdc0"
hint.fd.0.drive="0"
hint.fd.1.at="fdc0"
hint.fd.1.drive="1"
hint.fdc.0.disabled="1"
hint.fdc.1.disabled="1"
hint.fd.0.disabled="1"
hint.fd.1.disabled="1"
results in:
fdc1: <NEC 72065B or clone> at port 0x3f2-0x3f5,0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2 on isa0
I'm not sure what's going on here, i know that even "boot -c"
then doing "di <devices>" doesn't seem to work anymore.
What I'd like you to do is try to disable your floppy drive
and/or lpt port without removing it from your kernel.
If it's possible please let me know.
thanks,
