Soundblaster-attached CDs, WD7000 etc for example. Try to get RELNOTES
for alpha to reflect reality a bit more.

controller chip. This chip is currently being used on the NetGear
FA312-TX adapter, which I guess is a replacement for the FA310-TX
(PNIC-based).
I added support for this chip by modifying the sis driver since
the SiS 900 and the NS DP83815 have almost the same programming
interface (the RX filter programming and PHY access methods are
different, but the general configuration, DMA scheme and register
layout are identical).
I would have had this done a lot sooner, but getting the damn MAC
address out of the EEPROM proved to be more complicated than expected.

the problems the installer has when other disks are present with a BSD
disk label on them. Please remove this warning when the problem is fixed.
