Howdy,
    I hadn't booted FreeBSD 3.4 for many months but had mounted
several partitions on /dev/wd2s* from /etc/fstab.
    Last week I couldn't get a clean boot 'til I took all references
to /dev/wd2s* out of /etc/fstab.

fbsd:~> uname -a
FreeBSD playground 3.4-RELEASE FreeBSD 3.4-RELEASE #1: Sun Mar 26

         2000     root@:/usr/src/sys/compile/McKERNEL  i386

From dmesg:

chip2: <Intel 82371AB Power management controller> rev 0x01 on pci0.7.3

    Having done that I now see:
fbsd:~> mount -t ext2fs /dev/wd2s1 /rh6
    ext2fs: /dev/wd2s1: Device not configured
fbsd:~> fdisk /dev/wd2.fdisk: cannot open disk

fbsd:~> ls -l /dev/wd2s*

brw-r-----  1 root  operator    0, 0x000a0012 Apr 20  2000 /dev/wd2s9

from /var/log/dmesg.today:      this is the way it was.
    wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa
    wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): <WDC AC24300L>

    wd2: 6149MB (12594960 sectors), 13328 cyls, 15 heads, 63 S/T, 512
B/S

from /var/log/messages:
May 23 18:15:19  /kernel: wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 on isa
May 23 18:15:19  /kernel: wdc1: unit 0 (wd2): <WDC AC26400R>
Feb 11 16:27:36  /kernel: wdc1 not found at 0x170

This makes me think the kernal is not seeing the controller at boot.
wd2 aka D: aka /dev/hdc is visible from dos and I'm writing this from
Slackware 7.0 mounted on /dev/hdc8.

This from Slackware's /var/log/messages:
Feb 15 09:20:15 playground kernel:
    hda: WDC AC24300L, 4112MB w/256kB Cache, CHS=524/255/63, UDMA
Feb 15 09:20:15 playground kernel:
    hdc: WDC AC26400R, 6149MB w/512kB Cache, CHS=13328/15/63, (U)DMA

I've tried various configurations in BIOS with no luck.

I'm stumped. All suggestions welcome.
TIA,
MiKe
