When I try to mount the cdrom (which is on a totally different controller) the ls-120 drive is accessed and an error shortly thereafter complaining about superblock's. I am extremely confused as to why it (FreeBSD 2.2.1) is even attempting to access the ls-120 when it is on a different controller. Another question I have is........ If I decided to write a driver for the ls-120 with no experience of doing it previously, where would you suggest I begin my quest (note: I have a little experience in assembler but in a 16 bit environment)? I do have experience in programmming in C. Thanks for your response in advance and please respond to jimbark@ibm.net as well as jbarker@bbn.com. -- Jim Barker UNIX/NT Administrator GTE Internetworking Suite 1200 1300 N. 17th Street Arlington, VA 22209 (703) 284-4798 jbarker@bbn.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
