Here are the relevant dmesg messages: wdc0: unit 1 (wd1): <QUANTUM FIREBALL SE8.4A> wd1: 8063MB (16514064 sectors), 16383 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 on isa wdc1: unit 0 (wd2): <QUANTUM FIREBALL SE8.4A> wd2: 8063MB (16514064 sectors), 16383 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S wdc1: unit 1 (wd3): <QUANTUM FIREBALL SE8.4A> wd3: 8063MB (16514064 sectors), 16383 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S > > If Bob wants to fix it himself, we would also be willing to commit the > changes. > > John > Thanks for the thought, John -- I wish I knew enough about the inner workings of freeBSD to directly help with the code... :) Best wishes, Bob Lash bob@wbs.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
