>Description:
when installing 1.1, I wanted to use the ccd driver. I didn't
expect the install floppies to have it, but I was surprised to
find that even the full GENERIC* kernels didn't have it.
Fortunately I was just adding ccd devices to a system, but I
can see problems in the future where people have files
critical to the upgrade process on ccd partitions and not
being able to access them.
>How-To-Repeat:
boot a GENERIC* kernel on anything but atari & hp300, and
notice the lack of ccd support
>Fix:
add the following line to /sys/arch/*/conf/GENERIC* if not present:
pseudo-device ccd 4
