Here's what those devices look like when booting: --- from dmesg --- sio0 at 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on isa sio0: type 16450 [...] wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): , multi-block-16 wd0: 124MB (254592 sectors), 936 cyls, 16 heads, 17 S/T, 512 B/S --- from dmesg --- My mouse is on sio0, (com1) and wd0 has /, /var and swap on it. The wd0 messages have been poping up every once in a while since I built a kernel. Yesterday, when I quit netscape 3.0b6, my whole X session, (mouse too) froze. Fortunately my SLIP connection was still up so I could get somebody to reboot it gracefully. I'm going to build (yet another) kernel without the "flags 0x80ff" for wd0 and wd1, which adds the mulit-sector transfers and 32-bit access. Hopefully that will fix the wd0 errors but are sio0 errors the fault of netscape?
