I'm working on a floppy disk driver for MacBSD and I successfuly comiled
several kernals before mucking with the sources and now I can successfuly
compile a kernal with references to floppy0 in the configuration file but
when I boot the newly configured kernal it fails - here is a trace from the
debugger:

config_make_softc(70065c0,ba1ba) + 1c
config_init(
config_search(
config_found(
matchbyname(
config_attach(
config_root(
configure(
cpu_startup(
main(
main(

I didn't write down the specific adresses except on the last one.

Does anyone have any idea what is going on here in config_make_softc? Any
help would be greatly appreciated as I've never written a device driver
before.

Also my floppy driver routines are presently empty - perhaps I'll put some
returns in some of them and see if it expects something to come back but I
think it hasn't accessed my driver yet.
