A few questions on the FreeBSD kernel: 1. If I specify a driver in the config file with a device command, does that always mean that it's compiled in staticly and not as a module?
2. How does make decide what to compile as a module? Is it everything not compiled into the kernel that it can compile as a module? And how would I tell what can only be compiled staticly and won't be compiled if it's not included with a device entry? 3. The handbook seems to suggest to use the config, make, make install procedure for installing the kernel if you have no other reason for not using it, what is the reason for this? (The paragraph immediately following procedure 2) -- I sense much NT in you. NT leads to Bluescreen. Bluescreen leads to downtime. Downtime leads to suffering. NT is the path to the darkside.
