But config should be able to determine the number of attached devices by the referenced controller - there are two disks (from the above) attached at wd0 - hence NWD should be two, not one (as config would do). And, using only one disk entry (commenting out the other), why would config generate a swap-struct referencing makedev(1,1), instead of makedev(0,1)? +++BdA -- +++BdA Brian de Alwis.
