(Try http://www.freebsd.org/~gibbs for the gory details ). Just be warned: if you rely on an aic driver (such as aic152x), you are SOL. CAM won't support it, and you can't opt out of CAM. I have heard rumors that someone is working on it, though. aic is not aha, so if you have aha, I think you're fine. Anyway, you probably don't have to worry about it. Just thought I get the warning out. And with CAM, your devices look like daX and saX instead of sdX and stX. -Rob To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
