For the next time, please read up before asking a question here. For example, the answer to your question can be clearly found in the sample kernel configuration file, /sys/i386/conf/LINT. You should "wire down" your SCSI hard drive to da0. This can be done like this (in the kernel config file): For example, if your SCSI boot disk is SCSI ID #0 disk da0 at scbus0 target 0 unit 0 ^---- replace this with your SCSI disk's SCSI ID This way, your SCSI disk will always get assigned to da0, no matter what other devices are in your SCSI chain (or not). --- Donald Burr -Member The FreeBSD Project| PGP: Your *NEW* WWW HomePage: http://more.at/dburr/ ICQ #16997506 | right to Address: P.O.
