> i don't think you can modify attachments with config(8), but You can. Or you can build a custom kernel. My box finds my SATA drive before my ATA drive though I use the ATA drive as wd0. My kernel config has:
wd1 at pciide? flags 0x0000 wd0 at pciide? flags 0x0000 wd* at pciide? flags 0x0000 so they match in my desired order. Resulting dmesg is: ... wd1 at pciide0 channel 0 drive 0: <ST380013AS> wd1: 16-sector PIO, LBA48, 76319MB, 156301488 sectors wd1(pciide0:0:0): using BIOS timings, Ultra-DMA mode 6 wd0 at pciide1 channel 0 drive 0: <ST380011A> wd0: 16-sector PIO, LBA48, 76319MB, 156301488 sectors wd0(pciide1:0:0): using PIO mode 4, Ultra-DMA mode 5 ... You can do the same with config -e. Lets see.... ukc> find wd 42 wd* at wdc*|pciide* channel -1 flags 0x0 ukc> add wd1 Clone Device (DevNo, 'q' or '?') ? 42 Insert before Device (DevNo, 'q' or '?') ? 42 42 wd1 at wdc*|pciide* channel -1 flags 0x0 ukc> add wd0 Clone Device (DevNo, 'q' or '?') ? 43 Insert before Device (DevNo, 'q' or '?') ? 43 43 wd0 at wdc*|pciide* channel -1 flags 0x0 ukc> find wd 42 wd1 at wdc*|pciide* channel -1 flags 0x0 43 wd0 at wdc*|pciide* channel -1 flags 0x0 44 wd* at wdc*|pciide* channel -1 flags 0x0 which will make a generic kernel work on my machine. // marc
