Terry, when did you use FreeBSD for the last time? It seems you're now solely using TerryBSD... Nothing of what you call `crap' is being displayed by default: (ncr0:0:0): "SEAGATE ST32155N 0532" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd0(ncr0:0:0): Direct-Access sd0(ncr0:0:0): FAST SCSI-2 100ns (10 MHz) offset 8. 2049MB (4197405 512 byte sectors) (ncr0:1:0): "SEAGATE ST32430N 0510" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd1(ncr0:1:0): Direct-Access sd1(ncr0:1:0): FAST SCSI-2 100ns (10 MHz) offset 8. 2049MB (4197405 512 byte sectors) I find this kind of information useful, and i'm sure other people also value this service. If you don't, comment the calls out in TerryBSD. That'll be my last message in this thread. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
