adding an extra scsi-card (KZPAA-AA) to an AS1000A



hi managers,

we recently bought an additional scsi-card for our alphaserver running
4.0B,PL7. our vendor told us that we just had to throw the card into the
machine - the system would autorecognize it. this obviusly was wrong!
booting with the genvmunix showed me that i had to install another bus
in the kernel config file:

->         psiop0 at pci2000 slot 1 

and after that the addtional card

->         scsi1 at psiop0 slot 0 

so i changed the kernel config file to:

[...]
-> 	bus             isp0       at pci2000   slot  0 vector    ispintr 
-> 	bus             psiop0     at pci2000   slot  1 vector    ispintr 
-> 	controller      scsi0      at isp0      slot  0 
-> 	controller      scsi1      at psiop0    slot  0 
[...]

rebuilt the kernel & the scsi-card along w/ the external device was
recognized. but i'm not quite sure about the last entry:
taking a wild guess by looking at how the other busses/controllers are
addressed i would say that i need to change the 'ispintr' entry to
something like 'psiopintr'


could somebody confirm? give an explanation? maybe also a hint where to
look for the docs for that?


cheers,
