Change the "#define TIMEOUT" line, and set it to somewhere between 2000-4000. This is the timeout that the IDE driver uses when probing for devices (it does three probes per device, so a probe for wd1 where there is nothing at wd1 would wait 10000*3 milliseconds == 30 secs). Setting the timeout at 2000 would result in a 6-second wait per unconnected IDE device. -Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
