The following reply was made to PR kern/4945; it has been noted by GNATS.

I'll try to boot with the second serial port as the console (the first is an IRDA port) and capture the console messages. In any case, I don't see a line in the PCCARD config file indicating that a driver for the 1460 is being configured; I would expect something like "controller foo0 on slot?" but all that's vaguely related to scsi in that config file is the "controller aic0 on isa0" (or something like that; I'm not near my FreeBSD machine right now), and then a "device sd0". Am I missing something here? What's the pccardd daemon? To give you a bit more background: I'm trying to bring up FreeBSD on my notebook using a scsi jaz drive as the only disk; I assumed that something along the lines of what I described in the previous paragraph, combined with "config vmunix root on sd0" would do the trick. Apparently, this is not the case. Am I totally wrong in assuming that this can be done? Thanks, /ji
