Today I moved my FreeBSD/alpha box to a bigger disk. Since I was
already digging through the entrails, I used the opportunity to
switch sym0 and sym1 by rearranging the cards. The PC164 has four
PCI slots. The number indicates the PCI device ID a card will have
when plugged into the corresponding slot:
(top)
9 ########
5 ########
7 ############
6 ############
I switched sym0 and xl0, moving xl0 from 5 to 7 and vice versa for
sym0. When I powered the box back up, xl0 was gone. It didn't
show up as an unknown device in SRM's "show dev" any longer, and
although FreeBSD recognized a device it wouldn't attach a driver.
pciconf output properly identified the card. (It's an old 3C905-TX,
no B or C revision.)
My PC164 doesn't appear to be sensitive to where I put the other
cards (Tekram DC-390UW, Matrox Mystique, noname '810AE). Is the
3C905 known not to work in 64-bit slots?
