(i wonder if having it probe for aha will find this)? i am thinking that it is finding the scsi controller, because it does wait 15 seconds for 'scsi devices to settle' before launching the installer. any help on this is greatly appreciated. adam To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
