Hi,
Thanks. That did it! I now have the tape drive right where it's suppose
to be and the burners on 1,0,0 and 1,1,0 cd0 and cd1 which is what i
originally wanted. For reference here is my modifications to
/boot/device.hints:
# custom devices
hint.scbus.0.at="ahc0" #find this with dmesg
hint.sa.0.at="scbus0"
hint.sa.0.target="5"
hint.sa.0.unit="0"
hint.scbus.1.at="ata1" #find this with dmesg
hint.cd.0.at="scbus1"
hint.cd.0.target="0"
hint.cd.0.unit="0"
hint.cd.1.at="scbus1"
hint.cd.1.target="1"
hint.cd.1.unit="0"
Thanks a lot.
Dave.
