FYI this no longer works in -current. FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT #2: Sun Jul 11 23:42:24 PDT 1999 j...@io.yi.org:/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.
