It worked fine on both my Toshiba 880 and my Connor 330 at SCSI ID's
1 and 2.  Check your cabling and make sure you click the button in
Mkfs instead of just hitting "OK".  (I thought we had fixed that
bug!)

We're working on this one.  Of course, we all have *real* jobs and
are a little burnt out on MacBSD, so the going is slow.

Have you checked the macbsd-general and macbsd-development mailing list
archives on ftp.ntebsd.org?  Many of these things have already been
discussed in detail there.

This is because of quantity, not because of quality.  If you'd like
to start a PC/Mac flame war, please take it to the appropriate newsgroup.
