Bolt them both in, connect them, possibly worry about master/slave stuff. |

Hi,
Thanks on your sharing.
I have tried two hdd ie one master and one slave.
Able to "probe-ide" but when boot up from master, and using
"format" , not able to see slave hence not able to fsck or mount
slave.
Is there something missing.?
Regards

Try "touch /reconfigure" then reboot. |

Execute "devfsadm" or "reboot -- -r" |

I've done this with both ultra 5s and 10s. The biggest issue seems to
be drive size. As I recall, anything over about 120GB is not
supported. Sun used to make a kit (bracket and cable) to mount a
second drive in an Ultra 5. I bought one on eBay and it worked fine.
