Hi there..
Can anyone tell me if writting device drivers for the
FreeBSD kernel is more or less similar to writting device
drivers for Linux? Is there any major differences or lots
of minor things here and there? Is there any document or somesort
of HOWTO to point out or get a person started for writting
device drivers and installing interrupt handlers for freeBSD?

Thanks in advance..
