Ah, sorry, this is my missread. I am don't have any ISA cards in use many years. Only some ISA COM/LPT/sound cards in far-away box. PS: again, may be time to move all drivers to modules and load all GENERIC's devices from loader.conf? /boot/loader have good performance now. _______________________________________________ svn-src-all@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-all-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
