hi ya alice if you tried to boot from fd into /dev/hde1 and it didnt work... my guess is your mb doesnt support booting off drives hde-hdf-hdg-hdh...
options are... - move /dev/hde to hdd or something lower... - reverse hda and hde on the drives ( controller cables ) - change the current hde:/etc/fstab to /dev/hda instead of /dev/hde.. and than reboot .. might need the boot fd to boot into the new hda ( old hde ) add the original hda as new hdb or hdc or hdd or... - leave /dev/hda alone till you can get hde working... so you can recover from any ooppps - getting a new mb is an overkill c ya alvin On Wed, 5 Jun 2002, Alice M.
