Hello! Lately I consult newbie about slices and partitions in FreeBSD. In the "An Illustration from the Files of Bill and Fred's Exceptional Adventures" we read that "When Bill re-ordered the SCSI BIOS so that he could boot from SCSI unit four, he was only fooling himself. FreeBSD was still running on SCSI unit zero". But early we read: "older (zero) SCSI drive is reporting numerous soft errors". Question: if FreeBSD boot from errored SCSI and works with it, why OS works safely? This drive is unstable. Therefore nothing change. Or not? Thanks for answer! Best Regards from Russia! FreeBSD-user Oleg A. Fedjakin
