Description kaz 2000-10-06 02:40:01 UTC

	% su
	# cd /usr/src
	# /usr/bin/patch < sio330...patch

	But it does *not* created new files: sys/pci/sio...,
	although outputs 'secceed' messages.
	(There is he patch file at under http://www.configure.sh/FreeBSD/serial.html)
	And then, kernel reconfiguration is failed.

Fix: 

I'm sorry for not fixed /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/patch/...
How-To-Repeat: 
	If the patch file contains the differential of *new* file creation,
	patch(1) does not create the new files.

I suspect you omitted the "-p" argument to patch, so it created the 
new file in the current directory. The README file that comes with 
those sio patches does say to use "patch -p". Can this PR be closed?
