But hey, I'm just an engineer, what do I know. :-))) I would really prefer to be able to set this stuff via camcontrol or atacontrol. Alone having to boot DOS with this machine (no floppy, no cdrom) will be a real pain. And most probably the DOS tool will not be able to see the disks sitting behind my lsi-driven controller anyway, so I have to plug them elsewhere, too. Great job, WD. :-( cu Gerrit _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
