} I can't find the relevant section in the 4.1 release novel. Where?
Section 1.4.4 "System Configuration When Disk Controllers Are
in Floating Address Space", page 1-20.
}
} This is a step backwards. The 3.1C genvmunix could find everything;
} the 4.1 genvmunix cannot.
}
} Someone suggested that the section dealing with sizer no longer assigning
} disks to the second controller in the floating address space was
} relevant, but I think not. The 4.1 genvmunix doesn't find the second
} controller *at all*; this has nothing to do with sizer or bulding the
} config file later. The 4.1 genvmunix only finds one controller and disk
} when it boots, and the advanced installation asks you all those questions
} about where you want to put things without knowing about the second disk.
Not finding disks on the second controller is what we seem
to call a restriction. Not finding the 2nd controller may
be a bug.
