+.Sh NAME
+.Nm sd
+.Nd SCSI and ATAPI disk driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "sd* at scsibus? target ? lun ?"
+.Cd "sd3 at scsibus0 target 3 lun 0"
+.Cd "sd* at atapibus? drive ? flags 0x0000"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for
+.Tn SCSI
+bus and Advanced Technology Attachment Packet Interface
+.Pq Tn ATAPI
+disks.
+It allows the disk to be divided up into a set of pseudo devices called
+.Em partitions .
+In general the interfaces are similar to those described by
+.Xr wd 4 .
+.Pp
+Where the
+.Xr wd 4
+device has a fairly low level interface to the system,
+.Tn SCSI
+devices have a much higher level interface and talk to the system via a
+.Tn SCSI
+host adapter
+(e.g.,
+.Xr ahc 4 ) .
+A
+.Tn SCSI
+adapter must also be separately configured into the system
+before a
+.Tn SCSI
+disk can be configured.
+.Pp
+When the
+.Tn SCSI
+adapter is probed during boot, the
+.Tn SCSI
+bus is scanned for devices.
+Any devices found which answer as
+.Sq Em Direct
+type devices will be attached to the
+.Nm
+driver.
+.Pp
+For the use of flags with ATAPI devices, see
+.Xr wd 4 .
+.\"In
+.\".Tn FreeBSD
+.\"releases prior to 2.1, the first found was attached as
+.\".Li sd0 ,
+.\"the second
+.\".Li sd1 ,
+.\"and so on.
+.\"Beginning in 2.1 it became possible to lock down the assignment of
+.\"devices on the
+.\".Tn SCSI
+.\"bus to particular units of the
+.\".Nm
+.\"device; refer to
+.\".Xr scsi 4
+.\"for details on kernel configuration.
+.Sh PARTITIONING
+.\"The
+.\".Nm
+.\"driver allows the disk to have two levels of partitioning.
+.\"One layer, called the
+.\".Dq slice layer ,
+.\"is used to separate the
+.\".Tn FreeBSD
+.\"areas of the disk from areas used by other operating systems.
+.\"The second layer is the native
+.\".Bx 4.4
+.\"partitioning scheme,
+.\".Xr disklabel 5 ,
+.\"which is used to subdivide the
+.\".Tn FreeBSD
+.\"slices into areas for individual filesystems and swap spaces.
+.\"For more information, see
+.\".Xr fdisk 8
+.\"and
+.\".Xr disklabel 8 ,
+.\"respectively.)
+On many systems
+.Xr disklabel 8
+is used to partition the drive into filesystems.
+On some systems the
+.Nx
+portion of the disk resides within a native partition, and another
+program is used to create the
+.Nx
+portion.
+.Pp
+For example, the i386 port uses
+.Xr fdisk 8
+to partition the disk into a
+.Tn BIOS
+level partition.
+This allows sharing the disk with other operating systems.
+.\".Pp
+.\"If an uninitialized disk is opened, the slice table will be
+.\"initialized with a fictitious
+.\".Tn FreeBSD
+.\"slice spanning the entire disk.
+.\"Similarly, if an uninitialized
+.\"(or
+.\".No non- Ns Tn FreeBSD )
+.\"slice is opened, its disklabel will be initialized with parameters returned
+.\"by the drive and a single
+.\".Sq Li c
+.\"partition encompassing the entire slice.
+.\".Sh KERNEL CONFIGURATION
+.\"It is only necessary to explicitly configure one
+.\".Nm
+.\"device; data structures are dynamically allocated as disks are found
+.\"on the
+.\".Tn SCSI
+.\"bus.
+.Sh CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
+The following
+.Xr config 1
+options may be applied to
+.Tn SCSI
+disks as well as to other disks.
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width SD_IO_TIMEOUT
+.It Dv SDRETRIES
+Set the number of retries that will be performed for operations it
+makes sense to retry (e.g., normal reads and writes).
+The default is four (4).
+.It Dv SD_IO_TIMEOUT
+Set amount of time, in milliseconds, a normal read or write is expected
+to take.
+The defaults is sixty seconds (60000 milliseconds).
+This is used to set watchdog timers in the
+.Tn SCSI
+HBA driver to catch commands that might have died on the device.
+.El
+.Sh IOCTLS
+The following
+.Xr ioctl 2
+calls apply to
+.Tn SCSI
+disks as well as to other disks.
+They are defined in the header file
+.In sys/dkio.h
+and use data structures defined in
+.In sys/disklabel.h .
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width DIOCSDINFO
+.\".It Dv DIOCSBAD
+.\"Usually used to set up a bad-block mapping system on the disk.
+.\".Tn SCSI
+.\"drive incorporate their own bad-block mapping so this command is not
+.\"implemented.
+.It Dv DIOCGDINFO
+Read, from the kernel, the in-core copy of the disklabel for the drive.
+This may be a fictitious disklabel if the drive has never
+been initialized, in which case it will contain information read
+from the
+.Tn SCSI
+inquiry commands.
+.It Dv DIOCSDINFO
+Give the driver a new disklabel to use.
+The driver
+.Em will not
+write the new
+disklabel to the disk.
+.It Dv DIOCKLABEL
+Keep or drop the in-core disklabel on the last close.
+.It Dv DIOCWLABEL
+Enable or disable the driver's software
+write protect of the disklabel on the disk.
+.It Dv DIOCWDINFO
+Give the driver a new disklabel to use.
+The driver
+.Em will
+write the new disklabel to the disk.
+.It Dv DIOCLOCK
+Lock the media cartridge into the device, or unlock a cartridge previously
+locked.
+Used to prevent user and software eject while the media is in use.
+.It Dv DIOCEJECT
+Eject the media cartridge from a removable device.
+.El
+.Pp
+In addition, the
+.Xr scsi 4
+general
+.Fn ioctl
+commands may be used with the
+.Nm
+driver, but only against the
+.Sq Li c
+(whole disk) partition.
+.Sh NOTES
+If a removable device is attached to the
+.Nm
+driver, then the act of changing the media will invalidate the
+disklabel and information held within the kernel.
+To avoid corruption, all accesses to the device will be discarded
+until there are no more open file descriptors referencing the
+device.
+During this period, all new open attempts will be rejected.
+When no more open file descriptors reference the device, the first
+next open will load a new set of parameters (including disklabel)
+for the drive.
