I've seen this problem reported a few times already. Yes its part of the 5.3 GENERIC kernel.

I'm not entirely sure (haven't tested), but since there is now a module io.ko in /boot/kernel you might get away with a kldload io Ruben ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
