Hi,
Thanks for that, this fixes the LCD problem, it's working fine now. If
it's more dynamic, it looks like using devfs might be a better option --
although I'm trying to avoid enabling stuff that enlarges my kernel (I'm
at 600kB now). At the moment, I'll see about putting a hack in the
scripts to recreate /dev/lcd at boot.Now to nail the problem with SCSI.
