What's so strange?

PeeCee: {116} dmesg
FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE #1: Wed Nov 29 12:38:23 CST 1995
    dkelly@PeeCee.tbe.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/PEECEE
CPU: i486DX (486-class CPU)
real memory  = 8388608 (8192K bytes)
avail memory = 6799360 (6640K bytes)
Probing for devices on the ISA bus:
[snip]
wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa
wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): <Conner Peripherals 510MB -  CP3541>
wd0: 486MB (996912 sectors), 989 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S
wdc1 not found at 0x170
aha0 at 0x330-0x333 irq 15 drq 6 on isa
aha0 waiting for scsi devices to settle
(aha0:0:0): "QUANTUM LP105S 910109405 3.1" type 0 fixed SCSI 2
sd0(aha0:0:0): Direct-Access 100MB (205561 512 byte sectors)
(aha0:1:0): "TANDBERG  TDC 3600 -06:" type 1 removable SCSI 1
st0(aha0:1:0): Sequential-Access st0: Tandberg tdc3600 is a known rogue
density code 0x10,  drive empty

Oh, it didn't say aha0 was an Adaptec 1542CF, but it is. It just so happens
I boot the IDE drive for both FreeBSD and that other OS, but the boot
manager offers F5 for the SCSI.

Its a sad day yesterday. Power failed long enough to run down the batteries
in my UPS. Uptime for PeeCee was 44 days.
