Sounds like you're saying I should force one of those drivers enabled, is that right?  I'm 
fine with that.  The other alternative is of course to put an ad hoc thing for this thing; 
that seems unnecessarily ugly to me but if necessary I can do that as well.

If I should force one of the drivers enabled, which one should it be (I'm assuming 
CONFIG_SUN_OPENPROMFS?)
