It's similar to a regular motherboard in that you would have a things like ata0 and cpu0 except here you have ahd0 and ses0. Ok, thanks. But then again, what's its purpose? On other systems I only have ahd0 (or ahc0, or sym0, ...) and the drives. If ahd0 (or...) works somewhat as a bridge between the PCI bus and the SCSI bus, sends commands to drives and gets the answers, what does ses0 do? If the system works perfectly well without it, what does it add? bye Thanks av. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks, I had seen that. Still I quite don't get it. What management are we talking about? I've always thought of hot plug devices as dumb connectors...
