Howdy,
I hadn't booted FreeBSD 3.4 for many months but had mounted several partitions 
on /dev/wd2s* from /etc/fstab. Last week I couldn't get a clean boot 'til I 
took all references to /dev/wd2s* out of /etc/fstab.
Having done that I now see:
fbsd:~> mount -t ext2fs /dev/wd2s1 /rh6 ext2fs: /dev/wd2s1: Device not 
configured fbsd:~> fdisk /dev/wd2.fdisk: cannot open disk
/dev/wd2: Device not configured
fbsd:~> disklabel /dev/wd2
disklabel: /dev/wd2: Device not configured fbsd:~> ls -l /dev/wd2s*
brw-r-----  1 root  operator    0, 0x00020012 Mar 20  2000 /dev/wd2s1
....             /dev/wd2s2 through /dev/wd2s8 nearly identical
brw-r-----  1 root  operator    0, 0x000a0012 Apr 20  2000 /dev/wd2s9
from /var/log/dmesg.today:      this is the way it was.
wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa

wd2: 6149MB (12594960 sectors), 13328 cyls, 15 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S
from /var/log/messages:
May 23 18:15:19  /kernel: wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 on isa May 23 18:15:19  
/kernel: wdc1: unit 0 (wd2): <WDC AC26400R> Feb 11 16:27:36  /kernel: wdc1 not 
found at 0x170 This makes me think the kernal is not seeing the controller at 
boot. wd2 aka D: aka /dev/hdc is visible from dos and I'm writing this from 
Slackware 7.0 mounted on /dev/hdc8. This from Slackware's /var/log/messages: 
Feb 15 09:20:15 playground kernel:
hda: WDC AC24300L, 4112MB w/256kB Cache, CHS=524/255/63, UDMA Feb 15 09:20:15 
playground kernel:
hdc: WDC AC26400R, 6149MB w/512kB Cache, CHS=13328/15/63, (U)DMA I'm stumped. 
All suggestions welcome. TIA,
MiKe
