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?
