Pehaps your best bet is installing FreeBSD on sd1? :) That's easier than you think. Boot it from the floppy, then add controller scbus0 at disk sd1 at scbus0 target 0 to your config file. This forces the disk at target 0 on your first (:-) SCSI bus to be known as `sd1' instead of the default sd0 for FreeBSD. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
