Hi all....

OK I've got my SCSI tape drive working, THANKS! Now I've added a small SCSI 
HD (202 mb) just to learn how it's done. 

My problem now is when I try to auto mount the HD when I boot I get an error. 
It seems that Linux trys to mount the SCSI HD before the controler is up. In 
other words, I've got 

"modprobe aha152x aha152x=0x140,9"

in the boot.local file. But Linux trys to mount the file system before it 
does boot.local. So I changed my fstab file to this:

"/dev/sda1       /SDA                    ext2            rw,noauto,user 0 0 "

for my SCSI HD and then added:

"mount /SDA"      

below the modprobe in boot.local. This works but I get a minor error when 
Linux reads the fstab file. It says that the SCSI line is wrong. But of 
course it still mounts it in boot.local. 

I see that I have the modprobe command in the wrong place. So my question is 
where should I put the modprobe so that I can auto mount my SCSI HD?

Thanks!
