Thanks Bill for your comments
I actually had the entries in fstab right when I tried it. (Sorry for the
manual typos)
I was wondering .. The Compaq Proliant has an internal SCSI Controller
(NCRXX ??). The RedHat install picks this up no problem. AM I better off
using the internal controller than the Smart SCSI 2, seeing as I don't want
to use mirroring ? I read somewhere that the Smart SCSI 2 driver is not yet
certified - It's a 'use at own risk' type of thing.
Thanks

I'm hoping this is a cut and paste of the file, you have typos in both
lines. Also, make sure each entry is all one line.
First entry: defaults instead of default
Second entry: The device is incorrect, I think you want /dev/ida/c0d1p1
instead of /dev/ida/c0d1/p1.
Might double check and make sure those partitions exist as well.
HTH,
