You should be able to find it in the mailing list archives, the subject was booting from sd5 when wd3 is also installed In addition, you could wire down the SCSI disk at ID 2 to be recognized by FreeBSD as sd3 (and thus match the BIOS' idea). See the LINT config file for the semantics on wired SCSI devices. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
