I didn't even check my email over the weekend. Had you kept -questions in the loop you might have received an answer a lot sooner. Also, since I am wrong about as often as I am right you would probably received a better answer. That said, I will try to help. IMHO the easiest way to find the values is to boot with your SCSI tape drive connected. When you are up you can run "camcontrol devlist" without the quotes. This will show you the values. Example: <SONY DVD RW DW-Q120A PYS1> at scbus1 target 0 lun 0 (cd1,pass1) <SONY DVD-ROM DDU1612 DYS1> at scbus1 target 1 lun 0 (cd0,pass0) You should use dmesg to find the controller for the SCSI. It will be something like AHC0. you can then use all of these values in "/boot/device.hints" as shown in man scsi. I hope this helps. Remember to keep the list in the email. The archives will then have the final solution for the next person who needs it or when I forget :-) Robert
