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): 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. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@tomcat1.tbe.com, dkelly@iquest.com ============================================================ The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
