->Just an info on something I could fiund nowhere (searched the device namings section of FreeBSD handbook, books, other forums..etc) I know that IDE ATAPI cdrom drive is acd -> acd0 = 1st IDE ATAPI cdrom acd1 = 2nd IDE ATAPI cdrom acd2 = 3rd IDE ATAPI cdrom ..etc My question: When should it be a,b,c,d,e at the end on the cdrom device naming? For example, I have a CDROM that is slave on IDE1 (/dev/acd1)...There's no partitioning for that CD.. what letter would be attributed to it. And if additionaly, I would have a second CDROM, master on IDE2 (/dev/acd2)...how should it work for it? OS that I have -> FreeBSD 5.1 Craig Lloyd Searching for the best free email?
