So, to be quite honest, when I read the original post, I thought:
"Wow... someone is finally going to do the right thing with autoconfiguration in FreeBSD."
..and when I read the reply, I literally laughed out loud.
But one thing caught my eye, that I just have to comment on:
If we do it right, there won't *be* a config file entry for USB. I can't imagine it getting much cleaner than that. 8)
"How about those spiffy new USB keyboards! Sure would be nice to be able to use it before any user processes have started!"
Before you ramble on about BIOS compatibility modes, I have two more words for you:
alpha port
Sure, new config might have some problems wrt. dynamic device configuration, but the problems are fairly well understood, and with a little time and effort, they could be fixed.
Anyhow, I was amused, so I had to comment...
