Does this need to be done at sysintall time? When I run -c at boot I don't get an st0 option but the st0 line is in my kernel. Dunno what's wrong here; if it's a SCSI drive, once it reports back that it has "Sequential Access", it'll be mapped to the st driver. This should happen automatically once the drive is configured okay. > Problem 2: In trying to do this I,ve erased st0 in /dev and MAKEDEV.local st0 and mknod st0 b 5 won't re-generate it. Use /dev/MAKEDEV, not /dev/MAKEDEV.local (this does nothing). Mike ---
