When I connect the device to the SCSI connection and turn it on, the following message appears on the console: ncr0: restart (scsi reset). sd0(ncr0:0:0): COMMAND FAILED (6 ff) @f86fc000. sd0(ncr0:0:0): COMMAND FAILED (6 ff) @f86fc200. sd0(ncr0:0:0): COMMAND FAILED (6 ff) @f86fc400. sd0(ncr0:0:0): COMMAND FAILED (6 ff) @f86fc600. sd0(ncr0:0:0): FAST SCSI-2 100ns (10 Mb/sec) offset 8 According to the manufacturer, the device is permanently set with SCSI id #4, and for an HP workstation is created using: mknod /dev/rdsk/4s0 c 47 0x201400 The diskinfo command on HP returns a size of 409600 Kbytes, 512 bytes/sector, and 819201 blocks per disk. My question, which major/minor number would I use to create this device on a netbsd machine? Thanks in advance. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /Brad Kidwell bk35+@andrew.cmu.edu/ /Information Networking Institute / /Carnegie Mellon University Office: (412) 268-8128, 268-3029/ / / /"God help us we're in the hands of engineers." / / -Jeff Goldblum as Dr. Ian Malcolm in Jurassic Park/ //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
