Sorry if this is redundant, but I haven't seen any new posts on this since 1/1/99. I am still showing this problem (vpo0 detected, da0 and scbus not detected) with sources current as of 1/9/99 5PM CST. Any help would be appreciated. (I'm almost to the point of bowing down to whomever can solve this! I wish I could code as well as report :-( ) Stephen L.
