nod; but that's not modifying the *attachments*. in OP's dmesg, he shows pciide0 and pciide1: OP: > wd0 at pciide0 channel 3 drive 0: <Maxtor 7L300S0> > wd1 at pciide1 channel 0 drive 0: <SanDisk SDCFB-1024> moving wd1 infront of wd0 does indeed work for the situation you mention; but that's just a side effect of the machine then being told to always call the first drive it finds on pciide? to be 'wd1'. i don't know if it would work at all in OP's case because the fact that the soekris is calling his CMD controller 'pciide0' and the natsemi 'pciide1' when the PCI card is in, but the natsemi is 'pciide0' when the PCI is not in. it would seem that he may need to go back all the way to pciide? at pci? if he wants to make it so that things do the Right Thing if the pciide PCI card is removed at any point. that's the tree i was barking up. if that's no a concern, then yeah, just flip crap around in config(8) -- jared
