- Yes: load them in this order:
-
- rmload scsi::4.library.scsidriver
- rmload scsi::4.library.scsifs
- rmload scsi::4.library.scsifiler
-
- Note the use of full pathnames and *no disknames* - when you load scsifs
- it will have the effect of dismounting all SCSI disks, hence the insert
- disk messages. Also, you have to load scsidriver than scsifs (or rmreinit
- scsidriver then load scsifs) as scsifs locks your drive IDs so nothing
- except scsifs can access them - reiniting scsifs ends up with scsifs not
- being able to issue calls to scsidriver as it doesn't have the right access
- key.
-
- The latest versions are something like 1.10 for scsidriver, and 1.09 for
- both the others I think.
