I've just been reworking my kernel config to try to do what I used to do
in OS/x on a Pyramid.

I'm kind of partial to some things on that machine including the 
wiring down of SCSI addresses to avoid problems upon drive failure.

I see that I can wire down disks and tapes... my problem is that 
config complains when I try to use a Pyramid like naming convention...

I'm trying to get /dev/sdX# where X= scsi bus is what I'd like...

controller	scbus0	at ahc0
device		sd0	at scbus0 target 0	# SCSI disk
device		sd1	at scbus0 target 1	# SCSI disk
device		sd2	at scbus0 target 2	# SCSI disk
device		sd3	at scbus0 target 3	# SCSI disk
device		st0	at scbus0 target 4
device		st1	at scbus0 target 5 unit 0 
device		ch0	at scbus0 target 5 unit 1
device		cd0	at scbus0 target 6	#SCSI cdrom
controller	scbus1	at nca0
device		sd10	at scbus1 target 0	# SCSI disk
device		sd11	at scbus1 target 1	# SCSI disk
device		sd12	at scbus1 target 2	# SCSI disk
device		sd13	at scbus1 target 3	# SCSI disk
device		st2	at scbus1 target 4  #( I tried st11 and no luck...)
device		st3	at scbus1 target 5  # 
device		cd1	at scbus1 target 6      #SCSI cdrom


Is there any reason why MAKEDEV is limited on tapes but not disks...

Bill
