The following reply was made to PR sparc64/72962; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Marius Strobl <marius@alchemy.franken.de> To: Pyun YongHyeon <yongari@kt-is.co.kr>, freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Re: sparc64/72962: [sysinstall] Sysinstall panics on sparc64 if /dev/cd0 present Date: Mon, 28 Feb 2005 17:23:22 +0100 Pyun, the underlying cause of this problem is that SCSI CDROMs are enlisted in kern.disks, which is because cd(4) uses disk(9) since rev. 1.28 of scsi_cd.c, i.e. also pre-GEOM. Disk(9) is an API for disk-like storage devices, i.e. not necessarily limited to hard- disks. Therefore I think sysinstall(8) is actually the right place to deal with this, rather than geom(4) or libdisk(3), and your change in src/usr.sbin/sysinstall/devices.c rev. 1.159 is a fix rather than just a work-around. Maybe the comment could be improved somewhat but otherwise I think this PR can be closed. Marius
