I'm curious how the new driver handles numbering.
You said in your first mail that drives are numbered by
probe order? I have two 4 gig IDE drives, both
single masters on separate channels. I'm only booting
from the first one, so that's not a problem, but the first
is called wd0 and the second wd2. My kernel config is as follows:
controller wdc0 at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14 flags 0xa0ffa0ff
disk wd0 at wdc0 drive 0
controller wdc1 at isa? port "IO_WD2" bio irq 15 flags 0xa0ffa0ff
disk wd2 at wdc1 drive 0
This way I can stick a slave on the first controller and it won't
change the numbering. I may be missing something though.
anyway, what will the new driver call my second hard drive?
and can I wire it down to be wd2?
Would this be all I add to my kernel config?
controller ata0
device atadisk0 # ATA disks
or do I need a device for each drive?
I'm also assuming that this thing will work fine with Vinum?
Thank you.
