Would that be "camcontrol rescan foo" where "foo" is something like /dev/ada0? I'm guessing that that can't be correct, because ada0 is an actual drive. So what is the "device id" for the bus itself? >Again, it may be nice (to the system) to detach the ATA device >from the bus; see "man atacontrol" (and "man camcontrol" in >comparison) for the proper command to do this. From the "electrical >point of view", there should be no problem. I am a firm believer in being nice. I just need to know the proper command. Would that be "camcontrol stop foo" ? >The only thing that might be worth looking at in the CMOS setup >would be the "method" of the driver, making the device come up >as da0 (for example) or ada0, depending if EHCI or XHCI can be >selected. Ummm... my new little SATA plug-in bay is strictly SATA... not eSATA, and *definitely* not USB, so I think that EHCI and/or XHCI are probably irrelevant. Those are strictly USB things, no?
