Thanks - I'll go ahead then..

Ok.  I guess, without it, I have to re-run the dkctl .. addwedge  
commands?

BTW, pseudo-device   drvctl is only present in the ALL kernel and the  
DKWEDGE_... options are missing completely.  Should GENERIC not have  
drvctl? And the commented-out options?

Also missing is the drvctl(4) man page, which is referenced from  
drvctl(8).
