With older versions the best chance you have is renaming your disks. Assuming you don't have a wd1 disk (i.e. a disk that's a slave on the primary controller) you can do the following: 1. Edit your kernel config file, commenting out the line for wd1 and changing the line for wd2 to read wd1 instead (change just the name, leave all parameters the same). 2. Edit /etc/fstab and change all references to wd2 into references to wd1. This will have the effect of naming your second disk wd1 instead of wd2, which should make the boot code heapier. Nadav
