I installed 3.0-19980928-BETA from scratch, and have 18 hard disks in the machine. 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!
