I haven't had much luck finding the docs for this new mechanism. How long has it been around? Have I been living under a rock? Granted, I haven't grabbed the 6.0 source yet, so maybe I'm looking in the wrong places. In lieu of finding something to read... Is there some way to disable groups of devices? I don't have any SCSI devices on my machines and the list in GENERIC is pretty long. I'm not looking forward to writing nodevice for that many devices. What happens with dependencies? For instance, some of the network devices rely on miibus. So what happens if I nodevice miibus and all of its children and then GENERIC gets a new device that depends on miibus? Forgive me for asking stuff that's probably been covered. Like I said, I'm not seeing much info about this. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
