note on Dual G4 benh install vs. rescue ultra-ATA device

2003-11-03 Thread Isaac Csandl
A few months ago, I was having trouble with the Ultra-ATA drive in a dual G4 tower. The 9.1 system would install, but not boot. Eventually I gave up and moved the HD to the "normal" ATA bus on the motherboard. The drive won't show up at all in the normal mdk kernels, smp or enterprise, if it's c
