Not only is it non-critical, it's not an error message. > This occurs when one compiles the device atapicam to access the atapi CD > through the SCSI interface. > In addition to this message there is a very > annoying 30 something second delay. 15 seconds, perhaps? As in options SCSI_DELAY=15000 # Delay (in ms) before probing SCSI in the GENERIC kernel? You can cut down that delay safely unless you have other, slow, SCSI devices. > 1) Does anyone know the origin of this message? > 2) How do I get rid of it without having to put a CD in the tray before a > boot? Why bother? It's a boot-time informational message, and it's correct. There are lots of other messages about the state of the system when you boot, too; I suppose it would be possible to come up with a way to provide for a less verbose boot (the same way that you can currently request a *more* verbose set of boot messages), but the utility of such a "feature" is low enough that no one has been inspired to provide it. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
