Hello,

I've installed FreeBSD 5.3 on an external ultra scsi drive.
To boot I use a devalias:

boot freebsd

where freebsd  =  /pci@1f,0/pci@1/scsi@1,1/disk@3,0:a

ok probe-scsi-all

/pci@1f,0/pci@1/scsi@1,1

/pci@1f,0/pci@1/scsi@1
Target 3
  Unit 0   Disk   SEAGATE STXXXXXSUN18G 034 A

perhaps the good devalias is
freebsd = /pci@1f,0/pci@1/scsi@1/disk@3,0:a


My / partition is "a"

I can't test no more because i'm installing gentoo sparc on my ultra5.
If someone could tell me what devalias i should use I will reinstall freebsd 
and will try to boot it

Regards,

Yann
