If you boot with a battery and want to replace it with a > disk, you MUST do "atacontrol detach 1" before inserting the disk. I have a /usr/local/etc/rc.d script that uses 'atacontrol info 1' to find out if the machine is docked and if there is anything in the drive bay, if not then it does 'atacontrol detach 1' so I don't have to remember to do it. I also detatch 1 when I suspend (from /etc/rc.suspend) so I can suspend the machine and then undock it. P. -- pir
