FYI this no longer works in -current.
FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT #2: Sun Jul 11 23:42:24 PDT 1999
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/compile/JAKE
I have a Matsushita 2x drive and a sb16; the drive stopped being
probed around when newbus went in. No probe message at all.
It shows up in visual kernel config, but not after.
I figured it was just rot due to the newbus switch, but it
hasn't been fixed. I also imagine I'm the only person in the
world running -current with one of these :) probably
the driver could just be ripped out; these are ancient
drives, and consume horendous amounts of CPU.
also, something's gone amiss in the reorganization of
GENERIC and/or LINT
GENERIC:
device matcd0 at isa? port 0x230
LINT:
controller matcd0 at isa? port 0x230
The man page says it should be controller.
Thanks
