You can change this in your computers BIOS. For mine I can set any of the four ide devices, or scsi as my first boot device. You also have to tell your SCSI card what device to boot from, Press Ctrl+A when your SCSI card bios displays. > I tried different partitions to help distribute the load: /var on /dev/sda2, > swap on /sda1, /home on /dev/hdb1, and so on.

Probally a sign that something failed. If you're booting from the SCSI hd you WILL need to have the scsi drivers compiled into the kernel. If you're not booting from SCSI, you should be able to get away with modules. Personally I'd just compile it in. I've had some issues with the aic7xxx series, but eventually I got it working and things fly. If you need to check on your scsi drivers, go to /proc/scsi/. -- Andy Zbikowski, Sys Admin | (WEB) http://www.ltiflex.com LTI Flexible Products, Inc. | (PH) 763-428-9119 (EX) 132 21801 Industrial Blvd | (FX) 763-428-9126 Rogers, MN 55374 | (PCS) 612-306-6055 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
