A lot of other things for the Amiga development?

My entire G-Force SCSI chain (second chain) remains unseen and does not appear in dmesg.  

My G-Force has the 040 and RAM on it and OBSD sees it.  I had thought the problem might have been that the G-Force has a GURU-ROM in it (omniscsi.device) instead of the standard GVP boot ROM (gvpscsi.device).  But I doubt that is the problem, because the GVP Series-II SCSI controller it found has no ROM in it at all, since the GURU-ROM controls both boards.  I had thought the ROM controlled more than Amiga boot-up, but I could be mistaken.

My entire sd1 drive is OBSD dedicated.  Root is on sd1a with sd1b and sd1c open for other possible UNIX OSs, sd1d is marked as other, sd1e as swap, and sd1f as ADOS FFS.  This whole drive was configured with HDToolBox.  I was still unable to mount any other partitions on this physical disk, not ADOS, swap, or other.

Thanks for the help.
