I'm just saying that if I connect an old WDC WD600BB IDE hard drive to the ribbon cable from mobo, it will be /dev/hdx in linux and in grub. If I connect same hard drive to a sata converter and hook it to a sata port, it will be /dev/sdx to linux and hd to grub-speak. Whether it is legacy, it still can work. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
