Thanks, Marino. But I still have a problem. At 21:37 30/06/99 , Ladavac Marino wrote: > [ML] This would make it seem as if you have physical access to >the machine. Good.

Would you explain it in details, because I have tried it, but failed.

I mean, if I have 2 harddrives, how can I mount the second drive (slice: /data) , to the first drive (slices: / , /usr , /var, swap) ? Should I use /etc/fstab ? But how can I know the exact /devname of the second drive ? Thank you.
