Call for Testers

We, newconfig project, are porting the new device driver configuration system used in NetBSD and BSD/OS. Our work is based on FreeBSD-current.

It is nowhere near finished, but is working to some extent. We decided to publish a patch to 3.0-RELEASE and call for testers and developers, especially people who can port device drivers. And now, the patch is based on 4.0-current.

You can find the patch at ftp://daemon.jp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD-jp/newconfig/snapshot/ . ex. nc30_981026.diff.gz

Any comments and questions on this patch should be addressed to:

newconfig@jp.FreeBSD.ORG (in English)
newconfig-jp@jp.FreeBSD.ORG (in Japanese)
