There is no way from DrakX to know if the BIOS is set up to boot off SCSI first or IDE first, so when there is not guess, it's assumed that IDE is first. When you choose to install the booloader on /dev/sda (expert mode), it should install the bootloader on /dev/sda and assume that the first disk is /dev/sda, thus boot correctly. -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/
