Lamont) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: ahc0/ahc1 oddity Date: 30 Sep 1996 17:28:14 -0700 Organization: ServNet Internet Services, Seattle, WA Lines: 26 Message-ID: <52poiu$6fg@itchy.serv.net> References: <52ji5c$8jh@eirene.wingnet.net> <324D7279.713A@www.play-hookey.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: itchy.serv.net I posted this once before , but got no responses. I have configured ahc0 and ahc1 in our news server. When the system comes up, the following happens - Controller 0 is detected - Controller 1 is detected - BIOS boots off first disk of controller 0. - Kernel loads - Kernel assigns controller 1 to ahc0 , controller 0 to ahc1. - System fails because there is no moutable sd0 on the first disk of ahc0, which is controller 1. Can anyone enlighten me? For the moment, I'm using a small bootable partition on sd4 (the first disk on controller 0) which boots the kernel and then mounts sd0 as the 'real' root directory, but it's a pain because /kernel has to be moved both into /kernel and into /boot/kernel. -- Sean T.
