I have been thinking about using a loader environment variable for this. One existing problem is that a pci device which doesn't match a driver does not reserve its irq resource. Fixing that still leaves the case of an unknown non-pnp isa device though. -- Doug Rabson Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Nonlinear Systems Ltd.

Re: PnP problems on install floppy in 4.0-SNAPS from current.freebsd.org
I just tried the latest -CURRENT snapshot, 19991009 ,..

Sorry I can't get pnpinfo, I can tell you though that dmesg does not even show ed0 being probed at all.. In other words, it does nto even say 'ed0 not found at 0x240' ..
