Eg. IDE channel 1 = ad0 (main OS), IDE channel 2 = ad1 (other data > - maybe MySQL and websites?) Yes I would recommend this, but I would also recommend not having a CD drive on the same bus as a heavily used disk (unless the CD is rarely used). I would also recommend putting /usr/src and /usr/obj on different disks to speed up makeworld (if that is important to you). - Mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
