To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Tue, 9 Jun 1998 09:43:23 -0500 (CDT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL22 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG 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?
