I have a Promise ATA/100 controller, with an attached WD 40GB ATA100 HD. I also have 2 SCSI disks. I have just put the WD ATA disk into my Alpha pws 500au. The world and kernel are still on the SCSI disks. My Question: Since the SRM can only boot from a SCSI disk, what is the best way to organise my filesystems ? (I only want to use the SCSI disks for booting FreeBSD). Should I have a seperate /boot on the SCSI disk and the rest of the filesystems on the ATA disks ?
