SUMMARY: Problems with second SCSI Controller Interface




Hello World,

my problem is solved! Thank you all who responded so fast!

My original question was:

How can i figure out about the correct lines to be included into
the kernel config file for my second SCSI Controller Interface?

I've recieved many helpful answers, which i summarize into two points:

1.) I forget about doing a standalone doconfig, which figures out about
    all attached devices itself.

    Indeed I thought we tried this, but obviously we've missed something.

    The steps are: first shutdown the machine, then boot it to single
    user mode, then mount all your ufs filesystems (which you need to
    have access to doconfig) and then do a doconfig without (!)
    parameters and answer a few questions.

2.) What I did not know yet was another nice trick (?):

    You can add in your configfile a line like

    bus     tcds1     at  *    vector tcdsintr

    where the "at *" means that the system figures out the correct
    values itself at boottime.


I've tried both versions, both worked fine! 
And I've learned that my initial guess (an analog copy of the above line...) 

    bus     tcds1   at tc0 slot 6   vector tcdsintr

was wrong. "slot 0" would have been right...

Thank you all!
