Can you boot using the install floppy and typing "wd(2,a)/kernel" at the Boot: prompt OK? Can you move the disks onto one controller? That would make it less confusing to the kernel. > What would be the easiest way to solve this problem, my friend > is not a computer hacker and don't wants to move things (exchange the ide CD > with the NEC, or reinstall warp) I didn't see a CD on that list. Is that is what is on the slave on wdc0? Since the system is installed you could swap that and the NEC. You can't use the CD until you rebuild the kernel anyway, so no big loss for the time being.
