       device cfid
       options CFI_SUPPORT_STRATAFLASH
       options CFI_ARMEDANDDANGEROUS

       In /boot/device.hints:
       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 de-
       vices 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	avail-
       able with the CFI_SUPPORT_STRATAFLASH kernel option.   Additional  sup-
       port for	write-once bits	to switch part of Intel	StrataFlash devices to
       read-only can be	enabled	by the CFI_ARMEDANDDANGEROUS kernel option.
