The boot manager is too small to know about a SCSI drive. Usually some tweaking with your SCSI card options allows it to remap it to something the BIOS knows about; but since you already have 2 IDE drives, this is option is not easily available to you. The simple solution is to have a small / partition on the first IDE drive (30Mb or so), so that the machine can boot and load all the necessary drivers, and have all the other filesystems loaded from your SCSI drive (/tmp, /var, /usr). -- Jonathan Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Clothes do make the man.
