I'm about ready to post again, so this is good timing. I got the totally vague warning from gethints.pl to quiet by making my disk section look much like the NOTES file. I then ran it by a brand new config, and out spewed more than 25 errors. The entire section on wiring down disks fails, and also all the stuff on npx, even tho that part was copied verbatim from NOTES. I have an Adaptec dual channel controller on my motherboard, and I have 3 disks and 2 cdroms, which I want to wire down. There's lines in the NOTES examples whose meanings just make no sense to me. Let me do a bit of quoting: [from NOTES] hint.scbus.0.at="ahc0" hint.scbus.1.at="ahc1" hint.scbus.1.bus="0" hint.scbus.3.at="ahc2" hint.scbus.3.bus="0" hint.scbus.2.at="ahc2" hint.scbus.2.bus="1" hint.da.0.at="scbus0" hint.da.0.target="0" hint.da.0.unit="0" hint.da.1.at="scbus3" hint.da.1.target="1" hint.da.2.at="scbus2" hint.da.2.target="3" hint.sa.1.at="scbus1" hint.sa.1.target="6" What does ``hint.scbus.1.bus="0"'' mean? Do I have to stick a number after the "device ahc" and "device scbus" lines (the NOTES file doesn't). Are there any other oddities I ought to know of? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include C & Java programming, FreeBSD, chuckr@picnic.mat.net | electronics, communications, and signal processing.
