If you're using -CURRENT, 1. Subscribe to FreeBSD-current. 2. Talk about it there, not on -questions. 3. Be prepared to solve this kind of question yourself. -CURRENT isn't for people who need hand-holding. There are a number of issues with 4.0. The one you're referring to depends on the driver you use. If you use wd (not recommended), nothing changes. If you use ata, some things change, but they're not critical. I'm writing this from a 4.0-CURRENT machine with the ata driver and with the old device nodes. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
