Nadav:
help pliz, i tried the second method.
I commented the wd1 and switched wd2 to wd1 in kernel config. file
and i switch all the wd2 to wd1 in /etc/fstab.  In /etc/fstab, there are
wd2s1f, wd1a, wd2s1?, wd2s1?, and i switched all wd2 to wd1, is that
right?? or i only switch the wd1a one to wd2a??

I got this message after i change kernel config and fstab.
"can't stat /dev/wd1s1f: No such file or directory"

does that mean it can't find wd1s1f?? but i did switch the wd2s1f to
wd1s1f in /etc/fstab

Thanks for help!!!!!
