Thanks.
It works in FC5, too.
A minor side note. I am trying to do this with FC3. Doesn't have
/dev/disk. I suppose another approach would be to upgrade to FC6
first.
Another side note. I would rather not have the OS try to "hotplug"
automount my two SCSI drives because they came from a Solaris system
and will have to be mounted as
# mount -t ufs -o ro,ufstype="sun" /dev/sd?? /mnt/<something>
so I can look back at some historical data. I expected to have
interesting problems coping with the Sun-style partition table but did
not think about the first-order problem of trying to boot from the
wrong drive.
