I just received my new Sparcstation (a Sun 4/330), and was rather surprised when I found out that my two SCSI disks were sd2 and sd6 instead of sd1 and sd2. I could not find any relevant documention that explained the reasoning behind this. It was even more confusing when I found that the boot device was defined as "sd(,18)". The system device is sd6. I have no idea how they get from sd6 to unit 18 in the boot command. Does anyone know the "logic" behind the new SCSI device numbering scheme? Please e-mail response to me and I will summarize to the net if there is enough interest. Thanks Michael Edelman Tektronix, Inc.
