Modules and kldunloads
Sorry I'm jumping into this thread so late. I have done some experimenting with modules myself. I helped turn a few devices into loadable modules, and I use a few on my system. I use loader.conf to load sound, and when I do my system backups to ZIP I use kldload to load the driver. However, I have problems when unloading these as well. IIRC, unloading snd will cause a panic, but I never do that anyway. Unloading the ZIP driver doesn't kill anything, but reloading it makes the SCSI/CAM system act funny, and it allocates the device with an incrementally higher node number. I tried getting the driver to disconnect from CAM properly, but this seems elusive at best. I guess I thought I was the only one that put most of my drivers into modules and load them at boot time, rather than compiling them into the kernel. Apparently, I'm not alone.

change in ed device number?
I rebuilt world Nov 17, and the last time before that was early October. My NIC has been ed0 until Nov 17, and now it is detected as ed1.

Netscape multitasking less smoothly?
I'm running NS 4.78 under 4.4-stable, and I'm noticing something I don't remember seeing before. When running NS in multiple windows, the app will lock up if one of the windows is bogged down. In other words, if window A has loaded its page, and Window B is waiting for more data, Window A becomes blank and unresponsive until the deadlock in B is released. Maybe it has always been this way, and I am just now stressing the system to that point with multiple windows, but I do not recall this happening under 4.76. Has anyone else had a similar experience? jm -- The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

The convincer for me was Wes Peters' 'Daemon's Advocate' article. He even personally responded to some of my questions. He pointed out that many of the same factors that make a good server, make a good workstation. The article was May 99, BTW. Anyway, that convinced me to give it a try, and I've never looked back. Is it as bleeding edge as Linux? No, but my Linux system became unmaintainable and incoherent very quickly.

init hangs leaving single user mode
I built and installed world and kernel on tuesday (4 days ago). I am running -stable on a 4010cdt toshiba satellite. I have 2 PCCards: the Noteworthy 56k modem that comes with the machine, and a Kingston ethernet card. I do this: shutdown now and then exit My modem is on sio1 and my ethernet on ed0. As multi-user mode is starting, whichever card is in the system is bumped to the next higher device number, according to the kernel (bold print) message (sio1-sio2, ed0-ed1). In either case, the machine hangs after printing this line. These messages do not appear in any log because the machine locks while writing them. If I removed the cards, start multi-user mode, then re-insert them, everything works fine. I will happily provide any other info requested.
