Hi, I've got a couple of problems I'd like to talk about..

1. I've got my machine and an external 4 GIG drive in a APS SR2000
case.

The 4 GIG is a Quantum Atlas 34300

I'm using a ASUS TP4N configuration with an DTC 3130B

Now, when the power to both items is on ... if I switch my machine off
I cannot turn the power on again _until_ I've turned off and on the
power to the external enclosure...

2. This ones really bugging me.

I've got a 2GIG partition on the external enclosure that I'm booting.

Whenever I repower my machine it takes at least two boots to get
FreeBSD up and running.

IT always stops after inetd at boot time and spurts out.

sd1(ncr0:2:0): COMMAND FAILED (4 28)@f1090a00.

This happens regularly after switching the machine off and rebooting
FreeBSD 2.1.

If I then reboot it will stick at the boot partition and won't even
execute the kernel. If I switch off and turn everything on again it
will fsck and boot up fine.

Any ideas?
