This message: >>> Jun 18 07:14:59 laptop pccardd[52]: ata4: SunDisk (/.*/) inserted. You've got to know the mapping between the controller (here ata4) and the IDE devices: each controller has two devices, ad(n*2) and ad(n*2+1), where n is the number of the controller. So ata4 has drives ad8 (primary) and ad9 (secondary). In this case, you only have the primary. > In looking at the /dev directory my last closest dev to the one you > suggested I use was /dev/ad3s4 then it jumped to your successful > entry of /dev/ad8s1 As I said, the contents of /dev have little to do with what's on your system. For example, you don't have a device corresponding with /dev/ad3. All that will change with devfs. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
