#	GENERIC -- everything that's currently supported
#

>Description:
GENERIC kernels should contain drivers for "everything that's currently
supported", but NetBSD/macppc supports many, many more devices than the
GENERIC kernel does.  E.g. all those PCI devices with MI drivers are
unsupported by GENERIC.

I don't have an overview of all the devices driver if they are all
endianess clean etc. , but e.g. the "ex" driver works fine and should be
added to the GENERIC and INSTALL kernel config files.

>How-To-Repeat:
Read the macppc GENERIC config-file and compare it to e.g. the i386 one.

>Fix:
Add those PCI, PCMCIA, Cardbus and maybe some other devices to the macppc
GENERIC and INSTALL config files wich are known to be machine independent
and currently missing there.
