Hi!

Recently I fetched the psm driver for FreeBSD out of the packages 
directory. Following the instructions that came with it I discovered
that there already was an entry for psm in conf.c with all the 
functions declared as "nodev". This was entry number 21 despite of
the installation instructions telling me to use major number 16.

I dropped in the necessary declarations and made the devices /dev/psaux
and /dev/psauxblock with a major number of 21 then. The kernel compile
went fine, but when booting the new kernel I get a message like:

psm0 not probed due to port conflict with sc0.

cat /dev/psauxblock doesn't work, either.

Any hints? 

Paddy
