I was rebuilding the kernel over the last few days, fixing the clock
problems (Thanks Phil) While doing this, I tried to get the machine to
configure my two disks in a fixed pattern (so in case one crashes the
other will still come up the same way as sd0/sd1) To do this, I changed
/sys/arch/pc532/conf/BULLBOX to read as follows:
controller ncr0
disk sd0 at ncr0 flags 0 drive 0 bio
disk sd1 at ncr0 flags 0 drive 1 bio
tape st1 at ncr0 flags 1 drive ? bio
But after rebuilding the system, it came up like:
Jan 4 08:24:51 bullbox /netbsd: scn7 at mainbus0 addr 0xffc80038
Jan 4 08:24:52 bullbox /netbsd: ncr0 targ 0 lun 0: type 0(direct) fixed <MICROP 2210-09MQ1001901HQ30> SCSI2
Jan 4 08:24:52 bullbox /netbsd: sd0 at ncr0 targ 0 lun 0: 1000MB 2372 cyl, 9 head, 96 sec, 512 byte/sec
Jan 4 08:24:52 bullbox /netbsd: ncr0 targ 1 lun 0: type 0(direct) fixed <CDC 94171-9 5759> SCSI1
Jan 4 08:24:51 bullbox savecore: no core dump
Reconfiguring as <disk sd0 at ncr0 flags 0 drive 0 bio> and
<disk sd1 at ncr0 flags 0 drive ? bio> had no effect, but
when I went back to <disk sd0 at ncr0 flags 0 drive ? bio> and
<disk sd1 at ncr0 flags 0 drive ? bio> it configured the drive
as follows:
Jan 12 17:54:48 bullbox /netbsd: scn7 at mainbus0 addr 0xffc80038
Jan 12 17:54:48 bullbox /netbsd: ncr0 targ 0 lun 0: type 0(direct) fixed <MICROP 2210-09MQ1001901HQ30> SCSI2
Jan 12 17:54:48 bullbox /netbsd: sd0 at ncr0 targ 0 lun 0: 1000MB 2372 cyl, 9 head, 96 sec, 512 byte/sec
Jan 12 17:54:48 bullbox /netbsd: ncr0 targ 1 lun 0: type 0(direct) fixed <CDC 94171-9 5759> SCSI1
Jan 12 17:54:48 bullbox /netbsd: sd1 at ncr0 targ 1 lun 0: 284MB 1409 cyl, 9 head, 46 sec, 512 byte/sec
Jan 12 17:54:49 bullbox savecore: no core dump
So, is this a known problem? Is it fixed with the new config/SCSI
code? Do I need to poke around and fix it? Or is that a bad thing to
do before I get the new config stuff?
