After the install, everything working now. Summary disks: wd0 300GB sata wd1 40GB pata wd2 30GB pata wd2 is boot disk as wd0 is reserved for virtual tape drives and will be erased frequently. The bios on this Dell Dimension 2400 is stupid, so I just avoided it by installing GAG boot manager http://gag.sourceforge.net/ and configuring it to boot with no delay from wd2.

Don't forget to mess with your bios settings. If you set up your bios correctly, you don't have to fsck with anything.
