The install scripts for FBSD 1151 neglected to put device drivers on
the destination (install) disk for scsi device 1. i.e. no /dev/sd1*
or /dev/rsd1*. Only the device 0 files. (it was hardcoded in, beleive
it or not) This was a bitch to fix, since I had already boffed my
older BSD disk and couldn't modify the scripts on the floppies.
Ended up using cpio to copy them from floppy onto the recently newfs'd
drive, and went from there. (then I went back and fixed the scripts.)
Question: Has this bug been fixed in the 2.0R install? I don't want
to be bitten again. I know the install has been redone (form net msgs
it appears to be a GUI?) Anyway, the question is: is it smart enough
in 2.0R to install to SCSI disk 1?
