Please reply to gt0711d@cc.gatech.edu. I came across an extra IDE controller and drive, and I managed to compile the kernal to recognize the second controller, but I developed a rather serious problem... What are the major/minor device numbers for the second IDE card? I tried several possibilities, the last of which trashed my first drive. Time for a reinstall... Stuff: NetBSD 0.8 486 DX2 66 20megs 1st IDE: 202 meg/ 170meg (IRQ 14; I/O 1F0-1F7, 3F0-3F7) 2nd IDE: 102 meg (IRQ 5; I/O 170-177, 370-377) I understand that this is far from the optimal means to add drive space, but in my particular circumstances, it was mighty cheap (trading some extra hardware). Anybody who knows how to set this up without eating drives please let me know. Thanks in advance! Cheers. -- Pure & innocent, like the newfallen snow, or badgers in the forest...
