i'm not going to guarantee that this will work, but if you're using GRUB as a boot loader, there is a file /boot/grub/device.map that you might be able to tweak to specify your boot disk. on my system, the contents are: # this device map was generated by anaconda (fd0) /dev/fd0 (hd0) /dev/hda but i've never had any need to play with this, so i'm only throwing out a suggestion. anyone want to clarify this? rday -- Robert P.
