Will the change be autodetected, or will I need to update a configuration file? There's no references to the hd devices in /etc... The system was updated to openrc a while back, and has been restarted a number of times since then. What about your grub.conf (or /boot/grub/menu.lst) ? For example do you have boot=/dev/sda or boot=/dev/hda Only places that grub uses the hd reference are in lines like: splashimage=(hd0,1)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz root (hd0,1) and rootnoverify (hd1,0) I am not sure if grub version 2 does away with references to hd.
