   What's your problem with the FreeBSD approach?  Sure, i wish it would
   support more drives, had fixed the ability to read CD-ROMs etc., but
   at least, it works for me.  And i don't have the feeling that its
   architecture is totally crappy.

I don't have any particular approach with that method of solving the
problem (ie. I realize what the big problems are, and what FreeBSD has
done is nearly as good as any other solution).

The changes have just not been merged in yet...
