in 3.1 i didnt have to "wire" down anything
and the zip became da2 (i had 2 scsi drives).
I am new to the unix scene and didnt know
that this option existed much less what
"wiring down" meant.
but i did try changing the following to da1
to see if it worked and it didnt.
config kernel root on wd0
^^^
but it is there like you said...
# 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 da0 at scbus0 target 0 unit 0
# disk da1 at scbus3 target 1
# disk da2 at scbus2 target 3
# tape sa1 at scbus1 target 6
# device cd0 at scbus?
