Here some IDE stuff from dmesg

ls /dev/h*
/dev/hda /dev/hdb /dev/hdb2 /dev/hdb6 /dev/hdc
/dev/hda1 /dev/hdb1 /dev/hdb5 /dev/hdb7
I guess I need an hdd, which is what I used in 9.2, but it was their at 9.2
installation.
How should I create hdd, and what should my fstab entry be? I am using fat32
format on the disk. Should I format it to something else?
