Hi,

I'm running 4.0-STABLE from about May 17.  I have a strange situation
here; I've got two sets of two disk drives chained to my SCSI bus here
that I use for data drives.  (Not currently using softupdates.)  From a
df:

Filesystem         1024-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/da1s1e          4050327  3644898    81403    98%    /a
/dev/da2s1e          4050327  2933727   792574    79%    /b
/dev/da3s1c         17253247   158881 15714107     1%    /c
/dev/da4s1c         17253247  9725925  6147063    61%    /d


They're connected like this, with "-->" representing cables connecting the
boxes:

       (externalbox #1)     (externalbox #2)
PC --> [SCSI 3, SCSI 4] --> [SCSI 1, SCSI 2]

Oh yea, dmesg might be useful.  Attached at end.  Anyway, here's the
problem:  When I dismount and disconnect that last box, remove it from
fstab, put terminators after externalbox #1, I find that upon reboot
FreeBSD screams mightily, says I need to do an fsck on drives 3 and 4, 
and dumps me in single-user mode.  OK, re-attach the box, leave it 
off... and I still get wild complaints.  Lastly, turn on box #2, but don't
mount the drives -- and it boots up fine!   

I'm completely puzzled here.  Any suggestions? 


Thanks,

Brian
