Yes, that's true. > It is meant to be used as a brand new host.

The same system that boots your livecd to sda only recognizes hda with my kernel. It works, but I'd prefer sda drives. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
