No. However, I don't remember if I made it dangerously dedicated. >What error messages do you see when trying to boot from the SCSI disk? The basic "Insert disk and press any key to continue." no boot sector found message. Obviously I installed this with the controller in a non-FreeBSD conforming state. I'd like to avoid newfs'ing the system if possible. -Craig To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
