SCSI controller is a NCR810, if that matters (sym driver). Drat! I too have an HP 9200. IMO you will either have to replace the HP 9200 or add another SCSI card so each is on a separate interface. Its not a FreeBSD issue but a firmware issue in your hardware. Else you will have to make sure you start the 9200 first. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
