Hello,
I=B4m still trying to install the Jazz driver for FreeBSD. I have checked=
 the
dmesg and there is two entries with da0 and da1:
******* DMESG ********************
da0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
da0: <IBM DMVS18V 0077> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-3 device
da0: 80.000MB/s transfers (40.000MHz, offset 31, 16bit), Tagged Queueing
Enabled
da0: 17501MB (35843670 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 2231C)
da1 at ahc0 bus 0 target 1 lun 0
da1: <IBM DMVS18V 0077> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-3 device
da1: 80.000MB/s transfers (40.000MHz, offset 31, 16bit), Tagged Queueing
Enabled
da1: 17501MB (35843670 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 2231C)
************************************

Then I go the /stand/sysinstall -> Configure -> FDisk and there is two
options da0 and da1. I select da0 for instance, and it comes up window wi=
th
the following information:

    Offset          Size           End            Name     PType     Desc
Subtype    Flags

         0               63            62                -            6
unused        0
        63         35840952   35841014    da0s1      2              fat
12           =3D>
  35841015       2655       35843669       -           6           unused
0             >

If you select da1 you get the same information. I don=B4t know very well =
what
to do in this window and also I don=B4t know what to do once I have the s=
lice
number to use for the filesystem????? Is the slice number da0sa1???? What=
 do
I have to do with this slice number????

Can anyone help me again?

Many, many thanks


abel
