But it should see my 2nd drive. I forgot to mention that for unknown reasons # fsck /dev/da1* fails, while # fsck /dev/da0* successfully checks the root drive. Any other FS or kernel wizards have a clue. I want to make this experimental platform my main system while I build a real server. gary -- Gary D.
