I'd like to see something like that. Maybe less indent, though, in view of the length of some of these messages: da0 at ncr0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device 10.0MB/s transfers (10.0MHz, offset 8), Tagged Queueing Enabled 1041MB (2131992 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 132C) da1 at ncr0 bus 0 target 1 lun 0 Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device 10.0MB/s transfers (10.0MHz, offset 8), Tagged Queueing Enabled 2049MB (4197405 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 261C) cd0 at ncr0 bus 0 target 4 lun 0 Removable CD-ROM SCSI-2 device 4.237MB/s transfers (4.237MHz, offset 8) cd present [304767 x 2048 byte records] Greg -- See complete headers for address, home page and phone numbers finger grog@lemis.com for PGP public key To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
