Hi folks,

Given that there is a method for disabling podules at boot time (podule.x diable),
is there a way to specify that a podule slot has a particular card in it?
For instance, I have a Cumana SCSI card with a PowerROM, which makes it useless for NetBSD.
If I could override the auto-detect then I could use card...

Also, where ROMs are not SA compatible, I have had to remove the ROMs, but can still use
the cards under RiscOS by softloading the modules. Fine until booting BSD, when the podule
is once again invisible to the system...

I had a quick look in the bootloader code but found nothing, so I guess it's not available.
Where abouts would something like that need to be added?

Cheers,
Steve Hobbs
