Hi !
I run my BSD with a PTec SCSI-controller. When I start BSD the drive
with the RBSD partition spins down (who know why?) but gets the command to
spin up for booting. Unfortunately the drive needs about 15 secs to spin up.
Within this time BSD sais that the drive is not availible. THis time I press
the middle mouse button when the message appears that the controller is there
(plugging my ear to my RiscPC) and wait until the drive runs. Not that elegant.
Could be something made against this, not meaning to write a PTec driver :-)=)
