My case is a little bit different - there's trouble even with single disk. Offending example is IBM DRVS09D, I have it as target 0, CDROM is target 6, booting FreeBSD install from CDROM succeeds, but there are few SCSI parity errors while detecting disks, and finally disk doesn't get detected. It happens the same way with this disk alone, and together with second disk. So dual disk setup is not the cause. Really, really strange, because disk gets detected properly by OpenBoot probe-scsi command, there's Solaris installed on this disk and it boots fine, so it is working properly (I assume), only FreeBSD sees some kind of problem. But there must be something about it, because Linux also is unable to initiate dialogue with this disk. Best regards, -- Michal Konieczny mk@capri.pl
