I have a similar setup with my IDE drive. I would suggest just making the "/boot" directory the mount point for the small initial partition. (I needed this to get around the BIOS limitations to use LILO). Here's my setup: /dev/hdb2 / ext2 defaults 0 1 /dev/hdb1 /boot ext2 defaults 0 2 /dev/hdb3 none swap sw 0 0 red:/etc$ df Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on /dev/hdb2 1493162 1336422 110443 92% / /dev/hdb1 4358 2048 2310 47% /boot -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
