I can't really answer your question for sure, but on my motherboard, I have four SATA sockets. In adding a new drive, the designation, sdb, sdc, etc, seemed to go with the particular socket. The BIOS also seemed to map to the particular socket too. I would start with the assumption that the mapping is fixed until I had evidence otherwise. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
