When I turn off the zip, everything is fine, "changing root device to da0s1a" etc, but when I turn on the zip, the zip is da0 and the SCSI drive, which was da0 without zip, becomes da1, and then "panic (22), cant mount root device". I dont know which steps, in newbiespeak, I have to do. Something to change to "0:da(1,a)/boot/loader", but I dont know which file, where etc. To make the zip be da1 or to make the system find da1 during booting, when the zip is on.....hopefully. This "panic", rebooting, a Zip would be nicenst for this 200 MB machine, our newsserver is down and I have no subscription to -questions..... Thanks.
