I meant what I said. It can't have become sd0a because then wd0 wouldn't have been looked at. It only becomes sd0a if the disklabel type is DTYPE_SCSI. sd(0,a) becomes wd0a for the same reason. sysinstall sets the disklabel type correctly under the assumption that scsi disk names start with 's'. Typing hd(*, *) has no effect on the FreeBSD major device. It only forces the FreeBSD unit number to 0. Bruce
