Ok I got a card with another 2 IDE busses on it. Nuisance: the drives
are rearranged, so I get
card primary: hda, hdb
secondary: hdc, hdd
mobo primary: hde, hdf
secondary: hdg, hdh
Never mind, so I swapped all the cables around to make my boot disk hda.
The $10^6 question is: how do I stop the *&*!!@ mobo from booting from
hde, when I want to boot from hda? Phoenix BIOS, once can select disk0
to disk3 as boot drive, but not disk4. hde contains a bootable Linux
system, this is intentional - to play with that, hde is moved in place
of hda. But I can't boot from hda... unless I remove hde, but that's not
a permanent option.
Can anyone share a deep philosophical analysis of what's going on here?
Other than that, it's ideal. It even boots from the hdd dvdrom drive,
and that's not connected to the mobo.
Thanks,
Volker
