I assume that the 3.33 from ad0: <ST3120023A/3.33> is the firmware revision, am I right ? From: http://www.seagate.com/support/kb/disc/faq/firmware_rev.html ATA and Serial ATA (SATA) Hard Drives There is no firmware available for our standard distribution ATA/SATA drive models. Firmware could possibly be changed if the drives were modified by an OEM vendor, so this would be supported through the OEM vendor only. Firmware only applies to OEM units for ATA/SATA models which are supported by the OEM vendor, not Seagate. I'm trying to install a slackware 9.1 to see if that work. -- IOnut Unregistered ;) FreeBSD user
