Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk First of all, are you still the maintainer? Second, I've been baffled of late by my Exabyte 8500 SCSI-tapestreamer, which worked under the Operating System from Hell, but not under Linux nor under FreeBSD. It turned out that one of the terminators was installed upside-down. Some note in the handbook that this is possible and not right would be nice, but perhaps a translation about these kernel messages: First of all, are you still the maintainer?

I could find no hint about clearing fifos anyywhere, and I still don't really know what they are. I care a lot less, now that everything works, though! I hope you can do something with this, Jurriaan
