Howdy,

I'm installing 4.3 stable on a machine currently running 4.1-R.  New
install, but keeping the current partitions.

The machine is an old p166 but has a single new IBM 20GB drive in it.
What surprised me, and it didn't happen as I recall during the 4.1
install, is two drives are showing up.  wd0 and ad0.  The drive
parameter are the same.  What's happening here?  Just a choice of
drivers?  Is this intended--should I be concerned?

I chose the ad0 driver.  Also am using the 4.1 /stand/sysinstall and
editing the release to 4.3-20010718-STABLE.

Thanks,

Riley
