at lilo: linux root=/dev/sdb1 if sda just moved to sdb. you need to boot anyway, and once you made it to the prompt, you change lilo.conf (sorry, left that out in my extensive list...). if you know about the swap, you can even install a new MBR with lilo before you take it down, add the hardware, and off you go. > My point is, it's a stupid design decision that (thankfully) is being > corrected, but MS isn't the only group of people guilty of this kind of > thing. but linux handles it so much more gracefully if you have a capable admin. curious: can you have 27 SCSI disks? what's the 27th called? -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:"; [EMAIL PROTECTED] "if you stick a stock of liquor in your locker, it is slick to stick a lock upon your stock. or some joker who is slicker, will trick you of your liquor, if you fail to lock your liquor with a lock."
