The only thing that confused me was, when I recompiled the kernel, a la Mar 8, 2001 version of http://www.schlacter.dyndns.org/public/FreeBSD-STABLE_and_IPFILTER.html the mcpu flag for cc was set to ev4. (-mcpu=ev4) (saw it scroll by as the kernel compiled) though I had commented out EV4 in the kernel config file. (leaving 'cpu EV5' and 'options DEC_1000A') Being a newbie, this confused me, as I was expecting ev5 or ev56. Unfortunately the man page for cc only discussed i386 flags. Is this significant? Things seem to be running fine.... Many thanks. -Brodie P.S.: Additional thanks to all those who had the discussion about using camcontrol to change HD sector size back in mid-april. It was on the freebsd-scsi list, but there were familiar names :) Now that cheap scsi drive I just got works.
