Re: [TUHS] DG/UX user/admin around?

I've tried 3 things: 1. Board shows "PCI3" 2. Linux LiveCD says PCI slot 3 3. I've tried a million combinations, just for the heck of it. None worked. And also, as I said, in case there is only 1 adapter it should automatically default and I cant shorthand it, as - sd(apsc(pci(),3),0)root Of course that as for the controller ID it is 7 - as shown by the Adaptec management tool and the device ID is 1 (or 0), depending on where I put it's jumper and also shown by mgmt tool at boot. Got any other ideas of how to verify bus/slot?
