You'll also have to change /etc/fstab. It would be much easier for you if you just rename your disk back to wd1. To do that, remove the wd1 line from the kernel config file (i.e. comment it out) and replace the '2' on the wd2 line with a '1'. This would make your disk be called wd1 again. The CD is not called wd1 but wcd0, so they will not collide. > > Doug White | University of Oregon > Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant > http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major > > Nadav
