Taking a look into the kernel's config file you will find references to "wdc0" and "wdc1" (denoting the two IDE controllers that are present on machines capable of four IDE devices) and "wd0", "wd1", "wd2", and "wd3" which are the four possible drives (two per controller). On my old system I had only one controller so I had the hard disk and the CD-ROM both on "wdc0", the disk being "wd0" (master) and the CD-ROM "wd1" (slave). While migrating to a bigger hard disk I had both disks connected as "wd0" and "wd1" on "wdc0" and enabled the IDE-port on the soundcard which gave me a "wdc1" controller for the CD-ROM. For this to work I set the CD-ROM to master so it was "wd3". Greetings, Ripley -- H. Eckert, 10777 Berlin, Germany ISO 8859-1: Ä=Ae, Ö=Oe, Ü=Ue, ä=ae, ö=oe, ü=ue, ß=sz.
