I'm not sure what's a device or a controller or an interface. Please correct when I've gone wrong. I have a IDE card contains two IDE interfaces (i.e. you can attach two IDE cables to it). One is marked IDE/VLB, the other IDE/ISA. I've been running wd0 and wcd0 using IDE/ISA. I'm trying to add a new disk to this system. I tried adding wdc1 to the kernel, but that just makes things freeze. Then I had a thought: what about making wd1 refer to wdco drive 2? That's compiling now. But in the mean time, can anyone point me in the right direction? Should I be added a new IDE controller or just a disk to my kernel? cheers. -- Dan Langille DVL Software Limited The FreeBSD Diary - my [mis]adventures http://www.dvl-software.com/freebsd To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
