Yes. Disks known as "ad" will probably show up as "ada" (typically SATA disks) or "da" (typically SCSI disks and any other media, such as USB). I currently don't have access to a v10 system with (P)ATA disks to check for the remaining case. :-) > But I am concerned about using ahci and whether or not my > fstab needs to be altered; here is its current form: > > # Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# > /dev/ad4s1b none swap sw 0 0 > /dev/ad4s1a / ufs rw 1 1 > /dev/ad4s1e /tmp ufs rw 2 2 > /dev/ad4s1g /usr ufs rw 2 2 > /dev/ad4s1h /usr/home ufs rw 2 2 > /dev/ad4s1d /var ufs rw 2 2 > /dev/ad4s1f /var/tmp ufs rw 2 2 > /dev/acd0 /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 > fdesc /dev/fd fdescfs rw 0 0 Instead of relying on disk devices, I suggest you simply apply a label for each partition, so you can refer to the labels. Also note that /dev/acd0 will be gone, and /dev/cd0 will have to be used instead (generic "SCSI access" to optical drives). I assume you're using SATA disks, and ad4 is such a disk - then you'll have to change it to /dev/ada0, but check the "dmesg" and "camcontrol devlist" output.
