i386 platform boots, it is no longer ISA-centric, and is fully dynamic.
Most old drivers compile and run without modification via 'compatability
shims' to enable a smoother transition. eisa, isapnp and pccard* are
not yet using the new resource manager. Once fully converted, all drivers
will be loadable, including PCI and ISA.
(Some other changes appear to have snuck in, including a port of Soren's
ATA driver to the Alpha. Soren, back this out if you need to.)
This is a checkpoint of work-in-progress, but is quite functional.
The bulk of the work was done over the last few years by Doug Rabson and
Garrett Wollman.

pnp system in freebsd, I'm not sure how useful this will be, but my
1542CP seems to work well in plug and play mode and does seem to
probe correctly at all the oddball addresses/irq/drqs that I tried.
[[
I was unable to get /kernel.conf or /kernel.config to read in, so
I wasn't able to verify that this method of userconfig works. that's
one thing that makes pnp so hard to use in the current scheme.
Pointers to the right new way of doing this accepted.

o Add some kludges to maybe bring support for 1540A/1542A into the
driver. Since I have no 154xA cards, and the only person I know
that has them hasn't given me feedback, I'm making this commit
blind.
o Honor unit numbers that are in the config file now. This allows one
to hard wire the unit numbers (and have high unit numbers for plug
and pray devices, which can't seem to be hardwired) and have the
cards not migrate from aha1 -> aha0 should aha0 go on the fritz. I
didn't verify that hard wired scsi busses would work, but did verify
that hard wired aha addresses did work to a limited extent. Both
aha0 and aha1 must be hardwired, or when the card that was in aha0
goes away, the probe for aha0 might pick up the card that otherwise
would have been aha1.
hasseen_isadev so this will be less noisy when conflicts do exist.
Also eliminate redundant warnings about conflicts.

o For bt and aha only probe the one I/O range if a specific I/O is specified
in the config file.
o Don't even try to probe I/O ranges that have been seen already.
o If we conflict with an IRQ or DRQ, then fail the probe.
