That FAQ entry seems a bit outdated.
It was correct for FreeBSD 3.x, but FreeBSD 4.x does not have "controller
pnp0" and there is no longer any support for manual pnp-configuration
at boot time.

There are probably several other entries in the FAQ that were correct
when written but where the given answers no longer applies to current
software versions.

Is FAQ answer 4.29 right?

2003-02-11 Thread Lars Eighner
 The answer to FAQ question 4.29 (What if my PnP modem isn't
 recognized says to make a kernel with the "pnp0 controller"
 (and then do a bunch of other stuff).

 The LINT in a recently cvsupped source tree (for i386)
 doesn't know anything about a pnp0.  I tried

 device pnp0

 and then I tried

 pseudo-device pnp0

 I don't know how to include this pnp0 controller referred to
 in the FAQ is or how to get it.
