Thanks for the quick reply. In 9.0, it looks like sbp is commented out in the GENERIC kernel. ... # FireWire support device firewire # FireWire bus code # sbp(4) works for some systems but causes boot failure on others #device sbp # SCSI over FireWire (Requires scbus and da) device fwe # Ethernet over FireWire (non-standard!) device fwip # IP over FireWire (RFC 2734,3146) device dcons # Dumb console driver device dcons_crom # Configuration ROM for dcons ... btw, I don't get a boot failure. Once the 60-second timeout expires, the boot process continues and ends with a working login prompt. I'm just wondering how I can find out what it causing the message.... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
