Is /boot/device.hints required if kernel is built with hints?
I was trying to build a kernel with statical device hints by uncommenting the following line in my kernel configuration file: # To statically compile in device wiring instead of /boot/device.hints hints VT.hints # Default places to look for devices. Before doing this I moved /boot/device.hints to another location. when I do #make install I get You must set up a /boot/device.hints file first. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/sys/i386/compile/VT. Why do I need /boot/device.hints if I have the hints in the kernel? thanks anton ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
