Is there currently or planned support for a PD Disk drive? I have heard reports that someone is using one with *BSD. If you currently use a PD disk could you mail me the diffs needed to get it to work. 2. Is there a way to update the the boot device without re-compiling the kernel. My problem is I have added a SCSI disk to a system with an IDE hard disk. There is no boot partion on the IDE disk, so when I boot I have to give the option hd(1,a)/kernel. Can this be changed without recompiling?? -- Thanks, Jeff Kreska email: jeff_kreska@pts.mot.com X.400: FJK008@email.mot.com pager: 214 836-7416, 0578 internal phone: x52572
