The major and minor numbers for the sd and da devices are the same. By changing the fstab entries, all you are doing is making the system consistent in referencing devices named "da" by /dev entries named "da". To the kernel, everything is just major and minor number, so it doesn't care what you name your device entries. -- Justin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
