Figured that one out years ago by emperical analysis ;-) However, this was running sysinstall from the kern/mfsroot floppy boot process with no media in the drives at probe time. If you have media in the drives at probe time, then sysinstall is happy. If you don't have media at probe time (but DO have the media in the drive well ahead of chosing the "media" option within sysinstall), Kenneth was saying that the drivers still attach() but then sysinstall is confused. I'll try the process(es) tonight on my other machine (different Toshiba CD-ROM and different Adaptec controller in radically older machine) to see if the same behavior is seen or if it's just some bizzare combo of my hardware, BIOS, phase of the moon, etc. -Jr -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | John Reynolds CEG, CCE, Next Generation Flows, HLA | | Intel Corporation MS: CH6-210 Phone: 480-554-9092 pgr: 868-6512 | | jreynold@sedona.ch.intel.com http://www-aec.ch.intel.com/~jreynold/ | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
