I'm trying to use a 3ware card under 1.6_BETA4 on a power computing
power tower pro 200... putting the following lines in my kernel
config got the board recognized, as well as the logical disk:
twe* at pci? dev ? function ? # 3ware Escalade RAID controllers
ld* at twe? unit ?
I then had to mknod all the devices for ld0 in /dev, as the MAKEDEV for
macppc doesn't include them. So, I used values out of MAKEDEV from
the i386 port. (blk=19, chr=69)
However, when I try to access it (using, say, disklabel(8)), I get:
disklabel: /dev/rld1c: Device not configured
...so it's not actually usable.
Anyone have any suggestions of something to try? Also, if I *do* succeed
in accessing this disk, I'd very much like to be able to access the
data on it without reformatting... is this possible? (The drive was
written under netbsd-1.6_BETA4/i386)
Thanks!
