G'day Shaun. Could you please wrap your paragraphs?

Great. 8( It sounds like they've changed something in the interface or the drive that makes it incompatible with the previous versions. I haven't heard anything about this to date, so I don't think there's an easy answer, sorry. > ppc0 at 0x278 irq 7 on isa > ppc0: Generic chipset in EPP mode (EPP 1.9) > nlpt0: <generic printer> on ppbus 0 > nlpt0: Interrupt-driven port > ppi0: <generic parallel i/o> on ppbus 0 > vpo0: <Adaptec aic7110 scsi> on ppbus 0 > vpo0: waiting for scsi devices to settle > scbus0 at vpo0 bus 0 Presuming you have the 'sd' device in your kernel config, you should have seen the Zip here. You might want to try adding 'od' as well, just in case they have changed the device type, although I would have expected to see it probed nonetheless. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ Remember, the race is long, \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ and in the end it's only with yourself. \\
