Hello,
after I upgraded the kernel on my SPARCStation LX to 1.6ZC compiled from
yesterday's sources I get these kernel message during system startup:
sd0 at scsibus0 target 0 lun 0: <IBM, DCAS-34330, S65A> disk fixed
sd0: fabricating a geometry
sd0: 4134 MB, 4134 cyl, 64 head, 32 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 8467200 sectors
sd0: sync (100.00ns offset 15), 8-bit (10.000MB/s) transfers, tagged queueing
root on sd0a dumps on sd0b
The part about fabricating a geometry looks fishy to me. This is a proper
SCSI disk which always worked fine with NetBSD without any quirks. So why
does the SCSI layer now have to fabricate a geometry?
Kind regards
