I unmounted it then and haven't had the time to take a look into it until recently. I have MAKEDEV'd ad3, ad3s1a, ad4 and ad4s1a, so the device should be configured properly. It definitely looks like the first HPT366 channel is not being attached to an ata channel and subsequently, my drive is being missed... (Not 100% certain the two are related though) Thanks for your help, Quincey > : I'm having problems with my machine locating it's second hard drive. > :I've got the first hard drive and IDE ZIP drive on my first IDE channel (master > :and slave, respectively) and a CD-ROM as the master on my second IDE channel. > :I've got the second hard drive as the master on the Highpoint ATA66 controller, > :but every time I try to mount it with "mount /data", mount whines about "Device > :not configured".
