     device cfi
     device cfid
     options CFI_SUPPORT_STRATAFLASH
     options CFI_ARMEDANDDANGEROUS

     hint.cfi.0.at="nexus0"
     hint.cfi.0.maddr=0x74000000
     hint.cfi.0.msize=0x4000000

DESCRIPTION

     The cfi device driver provides a management interface to NOR flash devices supporting the
     Common Flash Interface (CFI) specification.  Its companion device cfid provides a geom(4)
     disk interface to the device.

     Special support for features of the Intel StrataFlash line are available with the
     CFI_SUPPORT_STRATAFLASH kernel option.  Additional support for write-once bits to switch
     part of Intel StrataFlash devices to read-only can be enabled by the CFI_ARMEDANDDANGEROUS
     kernel option.
