Howdy folk,
My parallel printer works fine with the GENERIC kernel, and with
dos.  When I add PPP and Sound, it takes 2 minutes to print my
cshrc, which has only 10 lines in it!  The GENERIC kernel works from
the distribution, as well as when built from scratch.  Here's a
comparision of the 2 config files:

debolt# diff GENERIC genplus
11c11
< ident         GENERIC
---
> ident         genplus
92a93,95
> device snd3 at isa? port 0x388 irq 10 drq 5 vector pasintr
> device snd2 at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 vector sbintr
>
96a100
> pseudo-device   ppp     2               #Point-to-point protocol
debolt#

BTW, is there any way to speed up the kernel build?  This is my
first experience with source code, and it takes ~45 minutes for
my 486/66 to make a kernel from scratch.

TIA, and Thanks to the folks who gave us FreeBSD!
