Your kernel will no longer config and compile unless you rewrite your kernel config to use CAM. I'd recommend: (edit, config, build kernel) (edit /etc/fstab -> replace sdX with daX, stX with saX) cd /dev rm -rf * cp /usr/src/etc/etc.i386/MAKEDEV . sh MAKEDEV all shutdown -r now "New world and kernel" At the "edit, config, build kernel" stage, you'll need to replace all SCSI devices with the corresponding CAM devices (sd -> da, st -> sa, od is out, ssc and su are out), add "options SCSI_CAM", convert your SCSI_DELAY from seconds to milliseconds (i.e. multiply by 1000), and set the boot device right (sd -> da). Oh, and remember to create enough vty device nodes or init(8) will go nuts when you reboot. YMMV.
