Hello! This may be a bit late :-| A machine with SCSI disks and an ATAPI CD-ROM (no IDE disks) would not boot from 3.3 CD if the SCSI disks are online. It would say: "Read Error" on the upper left of the screen -- where you'd normally see the spinning dash. I suspect, this is a loader's bug :(, which may make it to 3.4 ... The workaround is to disconnect the SCSI chain at the boot time and connect it back when the /boot/loader gives the prompt -- the kernel will find the disks nicely. -mi The devices: wdc1: unit 0 (atapi): <TOSHIBA CD-ROM XM-6402B/1008>, removable, accel, dma, iordis acd0: drive speed 5512KB/sec, 256KB cache acd0: supported read types: CD-R, CD-RW, CD-DA [...] ahc0: <Adaptec 2940 Ultra2 SCSI adapter> rev 0x00 int a irq 11 on pci0.13.0 ahc0: aic7890/91 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/255 SCBs Waiting 2 seconds for SCSI devices to settle sa0: <ARCHIVE Python 04687-XXX 6580> Removable Sequential Access SCSI-2 device da0: <SEAGATE ST39102LW 0006> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device da1: <SEAGATE ST39102LW 0006> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
