The convention on the i386 platform is to pack unit numbers; the 'wd' driver was our sole exception (the BIOS and the SCSI code both pack unit numbers).

Wiring ATAPI units down is of limited utility, but should probably be supported for people that like those silly removable drive sleds. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
