I'm trying to install two IDE disks that were created in dedicated mode on a Sun Ultra5 running -CURRENT (from about a month ago) into a Compaq Professional Workstation XPS1000 running 5.1-RELEASE. The disks are attached to a Promise ATA100 PCI IDE Controller, and both devices are detected on boot as follows: ad0: 58644MB <IC35L060AVER07-0> [119150/16/63] at ata2-master UDMA100 ad1: 114473MB <WDC WD1200JB-00DUA0> [232581/16/63] at ata2-slave UDMA100 The corresponding entries in fstab taken from the sparc64 installation are: /dev/ad1f /data1 ufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad0d /data2 ufs rw 2 2 However, neither 'ad0d' or 'ad1f' exist on the Alpha, and bsdlabel simply returns: willow# bsdlabel /dev/ad0 bsdlabel: /dev/ad0: no valid label found If I put the drives back into the sparc64 box all is well, so it's not something that's happened physically to the drives during removal and reinstallation. Any ideas? This is actually the first time I've really messed with 5.x and devfs in particular so it might be something obvious I'm neglecting to do, but I can't see it. TIA. -- /Nick
