Thanks for posting the info back.
I did not know that drives have I2O mode, did you mean the raid controller?
The command would be consistent with the second container having a LUN of 1,
mkdev hd ID number lun ha [ bus ]
where the SCSI ID is 0
the controller is SCSI-0
LUN is 1
the host adapter is amird
and on bus 0
Did you try this command before loading WIN2K and had it fail, but it worked
after the 2K load?
