Does anyone now the exact procedure to configure a new driver
for FreeBSD 2.0


I'm writing a driver to configure the Cyrix 486Rx2.
It start with its internal cache disabled.

Then a small utility is used to start the internal cache.

This utility is provided by Cyrix for MS/DOS, WINDOWS, OS/2 
and WINDOWS/NT but not for FreeBSD.

I've got the information from Cyrix to configure the chip.

I've asked for a cdev major number.

I wrote several Drivers for System V but never for BSD

Is there any book or faq about the drivers ?

I found that I probably have to modify conf.c

I'll post the driver on news as soon as possible

Thanks for your Help.
