This is an ugly way to make HARDWARE.TXT live here again (instead of

in [i386,alpha]HARDWARE.TXT. This particular file is destined to be
the generic HARDWARE.TXT. In [i386,alpha]HARWDARE.TXT the machdep
information will live from now on. This should fix the make release
failures people were experiencing.

+
+0.      Document Conventions
+--      --------------------
+
+We have `underlined' text which represents user input with `-' symbols
+throughout this document to differentiate it from the machine output.
+
+1.      Default (GENERIC) Configuration
+--      -------------------------------
+
+The following table contains a list of all of the devices that are
+present in the GENERIC kernel.  This is the essential part of the 
+operating system that is placed in your root partition during the 
+installation process.  A compressed version of the GENERIC kernel is
+also used on the installation floppy diskette and DOS boot image.
+
+The table describes the various parameters used by the driver to
+communicate with the hardware in your system.  There are four
+parameters in the table, though not all are used by each and every
+device:
+
+   Port   The starting I/O port used by the device, shown in hexadecimal.
+
+   IOMem  The lowest (or starting) memory address used by the device,
+          also shown in hexadecimal.
+
+   IRQ    The interrupt the device uses to alert the driver to an event,
+          given in decimal.
+
+   DRQ    The DMA (direct memory access) channel the device uses to move
+          data to and from main memory, also given in decimal.
+
+If an entry in the table has `n/a' for a value then it means that the
+parameter in question does not apply to that device.  A value of `dyn'
+means that the correct value should be determined automatically by the
+kernel when the system boots and that you don't need to worry about
+it.
+
+If an entry is marked with an *, it means that support is currently
+not available for it but should be back as soon as someone converts
+the driver to work within the new 4.0 framework.

+
+
+If the hardware in your computer is not set to the same settings as
+those shown in the table and the item in conflict is not marked 'dyn',
+you will have to either reconfigure your hardware or use UserConfig
+to reconfigure the kernel to match the way your hardware is currently set
+(see the next section).
+
+If the settings do not match, the kernel may be unable to locate
+or reliably access the devices in your system.
+
+
+2.      Using UserConfig to change FreeBSD kernel settings
+--      --------------------------------------------------
+
+The FreeBSD kernel on the install floppy contains drivers for every
+piece of hardware that could conceivably be used to install the rest
+of the system with.  Unfortunately, PC hardware being what it is, some
+of these devices can be difficult to detect accurately, and for some,
+the process of detecting another can cause irreversible confusion.
+
+To make this process easier, FreeBSD provides UserConfig.  With this
+UserConfig, the user can configure and disable device drivers before
+the kernel is loaded, avoiding potential conflicts, and eliminating
+the need to reconfigure hardware to suit the default driver settings.
+
+Once FreeBSD is installed, it will remember the changes made using
+UserConfig, so that they only need be made once.
+
+It is important to disable drivers that are not relevant to a system
+in order to minimize the possibility of interference, which can cause
+problems that are difficult to track down.
+
+UserConfig features a command line interface for users with serial
+consoles or a need to type commands, and a full screen 'visual'
+interface, which provides point-and-shoot configuration functionality.
+
+Here is a sample UserConfig screen shot in 'visual' mode:
+

+ IRQ number   : 5          Memory size    : 0x2000
+ Flags        : 0x0000
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+  IO Port address (Hexadecimal, 0x1-0x2000)
+  [TAB]   Change fields           [Q]   Save device parameters
+
+
+  The screen is divided into four sections :
+
+ - Active Drivers.  Listed here are the device drivers that are currently
+   enabled, and their basic parameters.
+ - Inactive Drivers.  These drivers are present, but are disabled.
+ - Parameter edit field.  This area is used for editing driver parameters.
+ - Help area.  Keystroke help is displayed here.
+
+One of the Active and Inactive lists is always in use, and the current
+entry in the list will be shown with a highlight bar.  If there are
+more entries in a list than can be shown, it will scroll.  The bar can
+be moved up and down using the cursor keys, and moved between lists
+with the TAB key.
+
+Drivers in the Active list may be marked "CONF".  This indicates that
+one or more of their parameters conflicts with another device, and
+indicates a potential for problems.  The total number of conflicts is
+displayed at the top of the screen.
+
+As a general rule, conflicts should be avoided, either by disabling
+conflicting devices that are not present in the system, or by altering
+their configuration so that they match the installed hardware.
+
+In the list areas, drivers are grouped by their basic function.
+Groups can be 'Collapsed' to simplify the display (this is the default
+state for all groups).  If a group is collapsed, it will be shown with
+'(Collapsed)' in the list, as above.  To Expand a Collapsed group,
+position the highlight bar over the group heading and press Enter.  To
+Collapse it again, repeat the process.
+
+When a device driver in the Active list is highlighted, its full
+parameters are displayed in the Parameter edit area.  Note that not
+all drivers use all possible parameters, and some hardware supported
+by drivers may not use all the parameters the driver supports.
+
+To disable a driver, go to the Active list, Expand the group it is in,
+highlight the driver and press Del.  The driver will move to its group
+in the Inactive list.  (If the group is collapsed or off the screen,
+you may not see the driver in its new location.)
+
+To enable a driver, go to the Inactive list, Expand the group it is
+in, highlight the driver and press Enter.  The highlight will move to
+the Active list, and the driver you have just enabled will be
+highlighted, ready to be configured.
+
+To configure a driver, go to the Active list, Expand the group it is
+in, highlight the driver and press Enter.  The cursor will move to the
+Parameter edit area, and the device's parameters may be edited.
+
+While editing parameters, the TAB and cursor keys can be used to move
+between fields.  Most numeric values (except IRQ) are entered in
+hexadecimal, as indicated by the '0x' at the beginning of the field.
+The allowable values for a given field are show in the Key Help area
+when the field is active.
+
+To finish configuring a driver, press 'Q'.
+
+Note that PCI, Microchannel and EISA devices can be probed reliably,
+therefore they are not shown in the table above nor can their settings
+be changed using UserConfig.  PCI drivers may be seen in the "PCI
+Devices" section in the Active Devices list, if you wish to check for
+their presence.
+
+
+3.      LINT - other possible configurations
+--      ------------------------------------
+
+The following drivers are not in the GENERIC kernel but remain
+available to those who do not mind compiling a custom kernel (see
+section 6 of FreeBSD.FAQ).  The LINT configuration file
+(/sys/i386/conf/LINT) also contains prototype entries for just about
+every device supported by FreeBSD and is a good general reference.
+
+The device names and a short description of each are listed below.  The port
+numbers, etc, are not meaningful here since you will need to compile a
+custom kernel to gain access to these devices anyway and can thus
+adjust the addresses to match the hardware in your computer in the process.
+The LINT file contains prototype entries for all of the below which you
+can easily cut-and-paste into your own file (or simply copy LINT and edit
+it to taste):
