Hi, Yesterday evening, I tested the debian-installer rc2 on a shared SCSI system i.e.
node1 (no internal disks) node2 (no internal disks) box with shared SCSI disks (both nodes connected to the same bus) Some notes: * To avoid interference: - SCSI BIOS on node1 sees only SCSI IDs 2 and 3 - SCSI BIOS on node2 sees only SCSI IDs 4 and 5 * The bootloader sees what the SCSI BIOS presents i.e. 2 disks. * Linux itself recognises the 4 disks on each host[*] [*] I don't know how I can tell Linux to ignore some disks. As node1 was already installed some time ago, I only installed node2. Installation took place on "/dev/sdc" and went fine. At the end however, there is the question to install grub in the MBR or not. I wondered what _the_ MBR was as both /dev/sda and /dev/sdb were already bootable (RAID1 setup). As I was installing on /dev/sdc, I thought that it would setup grub on the MBR of /dev/sdc, so I confirmed. I saw that grub-install was called on hd0 so I knew something was wrong i.e. it was writing to the MBR of /dev/sda. I corrected the problem on node1 and installed grub manually on node2 (/dev/sdc) using a grub floppy. Question: Wouldn't it be good to present a list of disks so that the user can select the disk whose MBR should be changed? cu, -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] gpg fingerprint: A41E A399 5160 BAB9 AEF1 58F2 B92A F4AB 9FFB 3707 gpg key id: 9FFB3707 Those who do not understand Unix are condemned to reinvent it, poorly." -- Henry Spencer
