Hi, in LINT we can read: # The syntax for wiring down devices is: # controller scbus0 at ahc0 # Single bus device # controller scbus1 at ahc1 bus 0 # Single bus device # controller scbus3 at ahc2 bus 0 # Twin bus device # controller scbus2 at ahc2 bus 1 # Twin bus device # disk sd0 at scbus0 target 0 unit 0 # disk sd1 at scbus3 target 1 # disk sd2 at scbus2 target 3 # tape st1 at scbus1 target 6 # device cd0 at scbus? # "units" (SCSI logical unit number) that are not specified are # treated as if specified as LUN 0. # All SCSI devices allocate as many units as are required. # The "unknown" device (uk? in pre-2.0.5) is now part of the base SCSI # configuration and doesn't have to be explicitly configured. controller scbus0 #base SCSI code device ch0 #SCSI media changers device sd0 #SCSI disks device st0 #SCSI tapes device cd0 #SCSI CD-ROMs device od0 #SCSI optical disk Now what is correct: The upper, commented out line with "tape" or the lower line with "device"? Or doesn't it matter if I declare my tape as "tape" or "device"? Thanks -Andre
