A BIOS driver number is the number you pass to the BIOS to access a drive.
Typically drive 0x0 is a floppy drive and hard drives start at 0x80.
Usually the SCSI BIOS will list the BIOS driver number during the POST
messages and it will look like 80, 81, etc. There is no standard way
as it is at the BIOS' discretion.
How do I determine this? It doesn't list them during boot.
Say I boot off the CD, is there any commands I can use to determine what
the BIOS numbers are? They are da0 and da1 to freebsd.
To answer your question: you need to first make sure your SCSI BIOS is
registering your second disk with the BIOS. Assuming it's mapped as
drive 81, you can then use '1:da(1,a)'. If it shows up as drive 82, then
use 2:da(1,a)', etc.
How does one do so?
