I just did (both ways hdc=ide-cd and hdc=ide-cdrom) and there's no difference. Interesting thing though, now I get a red "failed" at the devfs mounting local filesystems "no medium found" warning. Floppy drive tries to run at boot now too. I have no access to any removable media now at all. The floppy may have been part of it previously. Yep, I just checked the copy of mtab I saved and what's at /etc/mtab now, the same exactly. <sigh> What to look for now? -- Charlie Edmonton,AB,Canada Registered user 244963 http://counter.li.org Bondage maybe, discipline never! -- T.K.
