For me, it only asks for IDE or SCSI on logical disks. Maybe because=
I am
not using the whole disk, but only some of its partitions.
My main intent is to be able to dual boot Windows and FreeBSD, and ke=
ep both
running, with Windows vmware hosting FreeBSD (I would prefer the other wa=
y, but
vmware3 is a bit old). I need a secondary root partition, because of ker=
nel and
config changes, but the data partitions could be shared.
BTW: Maybe this can help. I'll copy scsi@, maybe they can find this p=
roblem
quicker.
The only messages sent by the mpt driver are:
mpt0: <LSILogic 1030 Ultra4 Adapter> port 0x1080-0x10ff mem
0xec800000-0xec800fff irq 17 at device 16.0 on pci0
mpt0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
mpt0: MPI Version=3D1.2.0.0
mpt0: Unhandled Event Notify Frame. Event 0xa.
If I enable verbose booting, there are to many messages for me to unde=
rstand
each one.
Also: In the install CD fixit shell, "camcontrol devlist" finds no de=
vice,
but "camcontrol devlist -v" finds two VMware devices <VMware, Virtual S 1=
.0>, at
scbus target 0 and 1. If I do a "camcontrol rescan all", and then anothe=
r
"camcontrol devlist -v", even these devices disappear.
I did also try disabling ACPI during boot, but no luck.
