The boot process recognizes da0....da17, and fdisk allows me to write partition tables on all, but some other utilities like newfs and (I think) mount have difficulties with >da9 (i.e., da10....da17 for me). newfs even seems to clobber the partition table when I try "newfs -b 8192 -f 1024 /dev/rda10s1e." I am using two Adaptec 2940 controllers, and da9 (which works fine) is on the second controller, I don't think the controller stuff is the issue. Is there a workaround or some pointer to something I should read that would help me here? Thanks! Hans-Werner PS: The machine also has two 450MHZ PII processors, and SMP was easy to get going, and seems to be working fine. Good job, guys!
