I should say here, however, that in the boot sequence after the two lines for wd0 and two lines for wd1, there is a line for wc1, but the second line for wc1 doesn't appear. For wd0 and wd1, that second line shows the drive type and configuration. I didn't mention it in my last post, but the PC has a PCI bus, if that makes any difference.
