Hello All:
I have a student this semester in my Operating Systems class who would like
to become a bit more knowledgeable about systems software. I suggested
that he learn a bit about how device drivers are written in FreeBSD
as a minor project. My questions are:

I am writing this after reading two responses, both of which I am grateful
