Yesterday I decided to add a Sony SCSI CD-ROM to the system. Thinking that it should just plug in and work (after reading the handbook), I shutdown the system, plugged in the drive and rebooted. When the kernel startup got to identifying the SCSI devices it saw everything, but produced the following output: cd0(ahc1:3:0): CD-ROM cd0(ahc1:3:0): UNIT ATTENTION asc:20,0 cd0(ahc1:3:0): Not ready to ready transition, medium may have changed cd present.[400000 x 2048 byte records] swapon: adding /dev/sd0s1b as swap device Automatic reboot in progress... /dev/rsd0a: clean, 42862 free (6 frags, etc Can't open /dev/rsd2s1e: Device not configured /dev/rsd2s1e: CAN'T CHECK FILE SYSTEM. /dev/rsd2s1e: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTANCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY. Automatic file system check failed... help! Now, I looked at the above and thought that I forgot to put "device cd0" in the kernel, so after recompiling the kernel and running "MAKEDEV cd0" it still didn't work. As soon as I unplug the CD-ROM though, everything runs smoothly. Now, my thought is that I have to try and stop the boot process from autochecking the CD-ROM, as it doesn't need checking as such... Or do I need to whack something into /etc/disktab?
