Hi,

    Just installed FreeBSD 2.2.6 on a Dell PowerEdge 2200,
all SCSI devices:
        0   Seagate ST34372UW
        1   Seagate ST34372UW
        2   Seagate ST19191UW
        5   CD-ROM
        6   Archive Python DDS-3 tape backup

   
    When I boot, I notice this message:
       changing root device to st0s1a

    Shouldn't this say "sd0s1a" ? SCSI disk 0 is the boot
drive, st0 is the first SCSI tape unit.

    I believe my other FreeBSD's 2.2.2 and 2.1.5 both say/said
"sd0s1a" for the root device.

    Is this just a typo in the code or does it really think
that the root device is st0s1a ?

    Comments?
