I'm fairly new to FreeBSD itself so please don't look down upon me if this problem is something I completely overlooked. I did read the FAQ and the handbook for specifics on what I'm trying to do. I've also done similar things with past versions of FreeBSD with no trouble, however that was a long time ago. Anyway, I decided that when I recompiled my kernel (to free some memory, since I don't use 80% of what comes in the generic kernel), that maybe I'd put in Soundblaster support and PS/2 mouse support. So I did that, adding the lines for the mouse exactly how I saw it in the FAQ file, and then added the SB line according to my configuration, copying the format from the LINT config file. Everything went fine, except when it got to the end when it builds/links the kernel (I believe it says "Loading kernel..." or something similar), and then I get a few linker errors. They were basically saying that two functions that were for the Soundblaster didn't exist, and one function that was for the mouse didn't exist. Any idea why this is? I looked in some of the source files and saw the declarations for the functions, yet I didn't quite see the function itself in any files. I'm running FreeBSD 2.1.0-951104-SNAP and I tried this right after installing the kernel sources. (I had to remove the lines from the configuration file and recompile) -- also, I was just wondering... I'm in a company that is working on a ms-dos program and I don't really have dos left, except for the partition everything was on. Is there a dos emulator out there that can run this partition and run DPMI sessions? Thanks in advance... Dave Wilson (djw@hicom.net)
