Hmmm...  I thought I saw a message go by in cvs0-all about your commits
of diskslice code for scsi disk.  I do recall a long email describing the
method of going from pre-slice to post-slice geometry.  I thought the SNAP
would have the scsi slice code included.  I restoreing -current from tape,
will sup, then rebuild the system.

No. wt0 probes before the ep0 probe, so ep0 is not probed because wt0 was
found.  The wt0 driver incorrectly probes the 0x300 address space.


When is the scsi version of the slice code scheduled for prime time use?
