Hi All
I have a rather stupid question about hard disks:
You can have
hda
hdb
hdc
hdd
These are either primary masters, primarly slaves, secondary masters or
secondary slaves. I am afraid I am a bit in the dark here. All I know is
that hda because it is "a", is the primary master from which you should
always boot lilo and hdb the secondary master, as it is "b"(comes after
"a") . Hdc is generally the CDROM. But can anyone tell me what this
master /slave designation means and why you can, for example, have a hdd
disk without having a hdb disk (I came across this recently)? Stupid
questions, I know, but I still like to find out.
Thanks
