I understand the open firmware device alias for an external firewire disk drive should be : fw/node/sbp-2/disk_at_0:X What would be the device alias for an external firewire DVD drive (I actually have both an external fw disk drive wherre FreeBSD should be installed and an external fw DVD drive from which to install from) ? devalias doesn't seem to list anything that looks like it. Thanks, Edward
