: 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.

Now that's a whole new level of Evil.  Of course, the CAB file has the
INF file that would let you write the matching devd rule :-)

/me flees while the fleeing is good.
