IIRC, you can use the /dev/discs hierarchy provided by devfs. e.g. in your menu.lst kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.19 root=/dev/discs/disc0/part1 (or whatever partition you need). You can also use the full name of the device e.g. /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 -- Nathan Norman - Incanus Networking mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For the next hour, WE will control all that you see and hear. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
