Right, as I said, I was just throwing out some comments. :-)
You can actually encode a list (in an ugly manner) without adding
anything to what is there now:
foo0 at adapt0 io 0x100 io2 0x140 io3 ox180 interrupt 7
or whatever. (By placing the io2/io3 names at the end of the set of
defined locators sys/i386/conf/files.i386, config will shuffle the
above entry so that the io2, etc., values come after all the existing
values, which avoids needing to change existing drivers.)
Just another comment, :-)
