>Environment:

	Latest i386 snapshot as of august 15th, 1997


>Description:
	the i386 GENERIC kernel lacks some drivers which would be nice
	to have turned on by default (in case one wants to do something
	more than install a new system, e.g. testint out a certain
	feature):

	 - pms0

>How-To-Repeat:
	boot a GENERIC i386 kernel, attach a busmouse
	dmesg | grep pms0 -> nada

>Fix:

cd /usr/src/sys/arch/i386

 Yeah, but the mouse drivers have been known to screw some
 configurations. If you need it, why not just uncomment it and build a
 kernel? I'd rather not have it in generic.

State-Changed-Why:
the pms? probe is known to confuse some keyboard controllers, so we
don't want it enabled by default yet.
