I have a fully functional system running on ad3, boots like a charm, no problems at all. I would like to use ad0 (ATA0-master detected at boot time) as well, but sysinstall keeps giving me either "device not configured" or "invalid argument" errors when I go through fdisk and disk labeling for the ad0 drive. I have removed all ad0* devices and used MAKEDEV to re-make them, including the specific slice that sysinstall is trying to mount (ad0s1e). No luck. Has anyone seen this problem before? I'm stumped! The disk layout on the system is: primary master: WD 15GB UDMA-66 primary slave: none secondary master: CD-ROM secondary slave: WD 15GB UDMA-66 (system installed here) Drew Linsalata The Gotham Bus Company High Availability Internet Server Colocation Solutions http://www.gothambus.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
