To make a silly story short, if I want to boot FreeBSD from my HDD running from a AHA2940W without having to unplug my external SCSI Zip drive (running off a ISA 1542), I need to tell all concerned parties to boot from sd1 instead of sd0. (I need the two SCSI cards so I can have my cake (fast HDD) and eat it too (external SCSI I connector). I have changed "fstab" entries and rebuilt the kernel with config line pointing to "sd2". Beyond that, I'm lost. At the moment, I'm not concerned with mounting anything on the Zip drive - this is just a convience question. Thanks to all concerned Tim Palmer System details Cyrix P150+ on Triton II mb, 32M RAM, Adaptec 2940W running Seagate ST32550 2.3G HDD, Adaptec 1542cf running CDROM and (zip drive).
