The relationship between minor device numbers (as far as the Sun OS is concerned) and the device number that the drive is jumpered to is this: minor device number = 8 * drive number. Thus, the Wren VI jumpered to position 1 should be major device 7 (or whatever), minor device 8. During boot, our machine shows something like "device sd2 master 7 slave 8" or whatever it is. Anyway, our Wren VI, jumpered to position 1, is known to the system as sd2. Don't ask me why, but that is Sun's default. We generated a new kernel that calls the drive sd1, but the we realized that all new OS distribution tapes come with the other setting, which might create total confusion. Hope this helps Fritz Keinert s1.fxk@isumvs.bitnet Department of Mathematics s1fxk@vaxd.iastate.edu Iowa State University Ames, IA 50011 phone:(515) 294-5128
