Check dmesg (or /var/run/dmesg.boot). The serial number should show, e.g.: ad8: 381553MB <Seagate ST3400633AS 3.AAH> at ata4-master SATA150 Thanks, Josh _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
