It's "mac53c9x=-1,0" The first number selects how many SCSI buses you have. If you say "-1", it means that you do not want to touch the kernel autodetection (which you do), otherwise you just specify a number which represents the number of buses you have. The second number is either 1 or 0, and enables(1) or disables(0) SCSI disconnects. Use of this option will make it go much (much!) slower, but it will stop hanging. Because of the speed issues, 1 is the default. -- Fun will now commence -- Seven Of Nine, "Ashes to Ashes", stardate 53679.4 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
