SCSI disks are normally numbered starting at 0 as they are found at boot time, regardless of their SCSI ID. (You can wire them down to a fixed `sd' unit number, look into the LINT configuration file.) This basically means that the second SCSI disk will be sd1. If it's a sliced disk, you will find the slices sd1s1 through sd1sN on it. (For the non-sliced case, there's apparently only an sd1.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
