Maxim, if you want the system to boot from the hard

On the Sempron there are two HDs, the 120G, pri-mast
and a 3.5G(fat32) as a pri-slave. LBA is

How does raid work?

True, I had forgotten about that. Thanks for the correction.
As already mentioned, using reiserfs on boot is a complete

all ears!
