That would be the logical order, but here hda and hdb have to do with the cdrom. I get this from dmesg: dmesg | grep hda ide0: BM-DMA at 0xd000-0xd007, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:pio hda: HL-DT-ST GCE-8320B, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive hda: ATAPI 40X CD-ROM CD-R/RW drive, 8192kB Cache, DMA Then hdc is the 10G disk for Windows, and hdd the 160G disk for sid. If I type "root hd(" at the boot prompt, it only gives me 0 and 1 as options, and a later "kernel" command actually finds vmlinuz in (hd1,0)/boot. So I guess this is ok. > I'm confused.
