i have a question, and this is not strictly netbsd related, but
i though you guys might know...

i have a sun3 shoebox with 2 ESDI disks..  a Hitachi and a Maxtor 700+
meg (both about the same capacity)

i need to get them formatted so i can install netbsd on them for my
sun3...  i am netbooting right now...

i took the box to school where we have a sun4 (ipx) and plugged them
in.  the kernel never recogized them...  but, when i went to the
prom, and did probe-scsi, the emulex showed up as Target 4, unit 1 and
unit 2.  it couldnt recognize what type of disks, but it at least knew
it was there...

i checked the kernel config, and it looks like it should be configured
for up to 8 scsi devices.  the existing 207meg drive is at Target 3.

can you guys think of any reason why sunos would not recognize the
drives??

thanx
