Actually it's not even that simple. (hd0,0) is the first partition on the first hard disk in the BIOS boot order, which might or might not be the first IDE drive. In fact, it might not even be an IDE drive at all, on a system with both IDE and SCSI drives it might be sdx, although that's not likely on a laptop. -- Rick DeNatale Visit the Project Mercury Wiki Site http://www.mercuryspacecraft.com/ -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/
