Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Mon, 6 May 1996 10:12:09 PDT From: "Marty Leisner" Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm about the reinstall 2.1 using ATAPI drives... I read the docs, and it talks about: the drivers are alpha the atapi drives has to be master (not slave) I'm not sure why I have to specify this... (on linux its just /dev/hda, /dev/hdb, etc). Would it make more sense to bootstrap with dist on dos or over nfs to another machine? marty leisner@sdsp.mc.xerox.com Member of the League for Programming Freedom (http://www.lpf.org) Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic Arthur C.
