Ordering of swap and root is unimportant. I think maybe your scsi config wasn't the same once you booted. One little difficulty with the sda/sdb linux idea, is that if you change scsi addresses, or plug/unplug devices, you likely need to change the /etc/fstab to match the new configuration. The lowest scsi address is identified as sda, sdb is the next lowest, etc. I first ran across this when installing on an external drive on a machine with an internal ide drive, so installing on sda, then hooking it up to a machine with an internal scsi drive - the install is suddenly on sdb. -- *------v--------- Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 --------v------* | <http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/installmanual> | | debian-imac (potato): <http://debian-imac.sourceforge.net> | | Chris Tillman [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | May the Source be with you | *----------------------------------------------------------------* -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
