This message is filled with terminology which may not be correct. I'm not sure what's a device or a controller or an interface. Please correct when I've gone wrong. <thanks> I have a IDE card contains two IDE interfaces (i.e. you can attach two IDE cables to it). One is marked IDE/VLB, the other IDE/ISA. I've been running wd0 and wcd0 using IDE/ISA. I'm trying to add a new disk to this system. I tried adding wdc1 to the kernel, but that just makes things freeze. Then I had a thought: what about making wd1 refer to wdco drive 2? Well, I can report that this seems to succeed. I have a wd1 appearing in dmesg. And running fdisk from within /stand/sysinstall gives me both wd0 and wd1. However, both wd1 and wd0 appear to be the same physical disk as the properties reported within dmesg are those of the 5G disk and nothing resembling the 330M disk appears. Perhaps I should just abandon my 330M.... :( Van anyone point me in the right direction? Should I be added a new IDE controller or just a disk to my kernel? This area is very hazy. cheers. -- Dan Langille DVL Software Limited The FreeBSD Diary - my [mis]adventures http://www.dvl-software.com/freebsd To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
