I guess that's what I'll be doing, for now. I'm new to this burning game. I thought that there might be read-through problems if you didn't do a full erase pass first. > Any benefits of using erase over blank? Dunno. I'll try blank the next time that I need to do that. > Also I don't know if it would matter, but on which channel do you have the > CD?

I have the CD as slave on ata1, because (a) I don't use it much and (b) I have the major partitions (swap, usr, obj, local, var) on alternate spindles of the disk drives, for performance. > Another inmediate work around until the changes Soren mentioned may be to > perhaps get an IDE card. This way the IDE channels would not be the same. I think I'll just live with it or work around it until Soren's fix works it way into -stable. It's not critical to me, now that I know how to avoid it. -- Andrew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
