Um, UPDATING includes the following two directives: [1] You may need to switch from wd to ad ala 19991210. In addition, you should disable any third party modules such as vmware so that you don't crash your system on reboot. =2E.. 19991210: The ata driver has become the primary ata/ide/atapi driver in the kernel. The wd driver is obsolete. You should upgrade your machine to the new ata driver. You will need to follow the directions for updating the devices in the 19991205 entry. You will need to update all occurances of wd to ad in your config files (/etc/rc.conf, /etc/fstab, etc). A compatibility device exists for wd for the time being, but once you have determined that ata is working for you, transition to the new ad devices. > "The wd driver is only removed from current, so you will still > be able to follow 4.x..." >=20 > http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=3D640514+642483+/usr/local/ww= w/db/text/2000/freebsd-current/20000319.freebsd-current That's a quote from 16 months ago.
