I must have overlooked some trivial thing in MYKERNEL. > something like the following... > > # Parallel port > device ppc0 at isa? port? flags 0x40 net irq 7 > controller ppbus0 > device lpt0 at ppbus? > device plip0 at ppbus? > device ppi0 at ppbus? > controller vpo0 at ppbus? When I turn off the zip, everything is fine, "changing root device to da0s1a" etc, but when I turn on the zip, the zip is da0 and the SCSI drive, which was da0 without zip, becomes da1, and then "panic (22), cant mount root device". I have no idea how to change this behaviour. Maybe I can change something in MYKERNEL. To make the zip be da1 or to make the system find da1 during booting, when the zip is on. Havent found it in the archives, have asked it before, without knowing what was going on ("panic", rebooting), our newsserver is down and I have no subscription to -questions..... Thanks.
