I think Joey is right that using volume labels is the only really robust way to fix the problem, given that you might be installing from a USB keychain or CD-ROM or whatever. But you might be able to make it a bit better in most cases by passing a parameter like "scsihosts=usb-storage:99" to the scsi core module. That way, the USB device should be allocated the highest host number, and at least the devfs-style names ought to work out in the same order that the installed system will see. p. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
