Hi:

I have a Sun Fire V65x Server installed with redhat 9.0, (krud) which 
works ok, I have installed an external box with a disk an a tape.
When I connect the external device, it starts booting but it gets 
messed, it cannot find swap partition, it looks for it on the wrong 
drive. I supose I have to configure properly  the scsi subsystem, but 
dont know what exactly.

When the system says "Cannot memory map device" should I change also 
scsi configuration?

Thank you
Adam

this is what dmesg says about it:
