This is after the install ... Don't know how I
could unplug the hard disk, while it's booting from
the same hard disk ...
It IS a Western Digital Caviar AC22000 drive. I
might be able to dig up an even older Seagate for
a test install.
I've never had to mess with the kernel before,
generic always worked ... "userconfig"? I'll look
it up.
How do I make it use the WD driver? Will that
affect the IDE CDROM?
