Definately a cool feature, but I try to keep the primary system drive on its own channel and stick the other stuff (usually just a CD-ROM drive and maybe a ZIP drive) on the second channel which alleviates the problem entirely. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet - Available for IA32 (Intel x86) and Alpha architectures - IA64, PowerPC, UltraSPARC, and ARM architectures under development - http://www.freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
