You can work around this by hardwiring the device names in. I.e., I have: device ahc0 # AHA2940 and onboard AIC7xxx devices device scbus0 at ahc0 # SCSI bus (required) as the umass device defaults to scbus0, meaning the things on it get lower numbers than the things on the ahc. I didn't treat this as a bug, just an unpleasantness. It would be nice if it changed, but I'm not going to initiate it happening. The correct place to talk about this would be scsi@freebsd.org. If you bring it up there, please include me on the to: line. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
