Hi All,

I need to block the autodetection (at the boot time) of device located at
0x280 , but without blocking possibility of loading the module with this
iobase.

The problem is that the WD8003 netcard is located there, which locks the
system during the startup of potatos installation kernel (probably
the SCSI driver looks there for the controller).

When I use "reserve=0x380,0x20", I can't load the module later, cause these
IO locations are still "reserved".

Is there any "noscan" or "noauto" option for temporarly locking of the
particular IO locations only for boot time?
