There is a kind of logic to that; if you fit a bootable PCI controller, there's a good chance you want to boot from it, so it appears first. If your root partition is not on this controller's disks, you can compile the driver as a module, then /dev/hd[a-d] will already be allocated to the onboard controller before it is loaded. -- Neil Bothwick Never ask a geek why, just nod your head and slowly back away
