HD notbook drives with 500 GB have only a SATA-Interface. I have never seen a HD notebook drive with IDE-Inteface which is bigger than 250 GB. Correct me when you have a 500 GB Drive with IDE-Interface. Robin, if you have one I want to know where you have ordered an IDE-drive with 500 GB. > Also, I > ordered a SATA CD drive for another purpose, but I'm wondering, if I > connect it to the SATA socket of the Soekris, will it be able to boot > from a CD and allow me to install, for example, Debian? Do you know that you have only one SATA-connector on the board because I mean your hard drive have also a SATA-Interface? The other problem is whether the comBIOS can boot from a CD-Drive. I don't know, but it seems it can not boot from a CD drive. Do that know someone on the list? I use the PXE boot option for installing Debian. It works very well. > And also, what's > the ComBios command to boot from a device connected to the SATA BUS? The CF-Card ist /dev/hda (the command is "boot 80"). The SATA connector is /dev/hdb (the command is "boot 81") To boot over PXE (the command is "boot f0") Question to the list: Is the IDE-Interface on the Soekris net5501 board also the /dev/hdb? I have it not tried, because I have no IDE notbook drive for testing. Is it right that I can only to connect an IDE HD or a SATA HD to the board, but not both simultaneously?
