Hi all,

My original question was:
>I would like to add a 5th scsi disk to an SS2 but the GENERIC config file
>only accomidates 4 by default. Has anyone added a 5th disk to their work-
>station? The config file is as follows:

And thanks to the responses I'll get after this summary!

All said it can be done.
I tried it and it seems to work. I changed the following line in config file
from:
tape st1 at scsibus0 target 5 lun 0 # second SCSI tape
to:
disk sd4 at scsibus0 target 5 lun 0 # fifth hard SCSI disk

and used target id 5 on the disk.
I get erros while it is booting up but not while it is up.
The erros I get are :

vmunix: esp0: Target 3 now Synchronous at 4.0 mb/s max transmit rate
vmunix: esp0: Target 1 now Synchronous at 4.0 mb/s max transmit rate
vmunix: esp0: Target 2 now Synchronous at 3.334 mb/s max transmit rate
vmunix: esp0: Target 0 now Synchronous at 3.334 mb/s max transmit rate
vmunix: esp0: Target 5 now Synchronous at 4.0 mb/s max transmit rate
vmunix: esp0: Current command timeout for Target 3 Lun 0
vmunix: sd0: SCSI transport failed: reason 'reset': trying command

Does anybody why the timeout?

Thanks again!
