next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
My 200 MHz Pentium has two disk controllers (wd0 and wd1) with a hard disk on wd0 and the cdrom drive as a slave on wd1. It takes between 20 and 30 seconds to probe and find wd1 and wcd0. Because of ribbon cable lengths and the physical layout inside my PC I can't move the cdrom drive cable to use the first controller. Is there a boot flag/kernel configuration I can try to eliminate this long probing delay in FreeBSD v2.2.2? == James (Jim) R.R.
