Oh, and it would be excellent if someone would automate the process of
extracting the .SYS and building the module based on the devd nomatch rule
(or pciconf -l) and a supplied path to the CAB.  Then you could just
insert the driver cdrom or floppy and have the correct driver
automatically built.  It probably would be a port.
