This is on MIPS and not on x86. And yes, I checked - both arge and ath probe/attach get called with no hints in kenv (ie, static hints) and I don't recall the hintmode being explicitly set in a config file. I'd love to make it work via hints calls; it'd significantly simplify things. -a _______________________________________________ svn-src-head@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-head To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-head-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
