| 	  syssrc/sys/arch/i386/conf: GENERIC
| 
| Log Message:
| Comment out the isa wss driver.
| 
| GENERIC is the kernel used on new installs and too many things overlap the
| resources (irq mostly) the default isa version may be using which causes
| panics on reboot.

This makes me very queasy.

I am unconvinced it is justified -- can you please justify it for me?

Such a change should come along with an explanation in wss(4) about it,
possibly in a BUGS section, as well as a CHANGES entry indicating
that this took place.

It would be nice to have an enumeration of what the items are that
conflict with the wss at isa are what the right solution is for folks.
