hey the second hard disk won't be recognised as hda2
It will be hdb* if IDE and sda* if SCSI
here a, b, c prefixes to the hd -- harddisk indicates the n th IDE
harddisk.
eg. A PC having 2 IDE disks and a IDE controlled CDROM then
hda1, hda2, hda*..... will be partitions on first harddisk.
hdb1, hdb2, hdb*..... will be partitions on second harddisk.
hdc is CDROM Drive. not partitionable !!
enjoy,
