Hey Chris:

Do you need to Run Red Hat Linux 9?  I think the best solution for you
is to run a more recent Linux (eg. Fedora Core 2 or 3) as the provided
2.6 kernel should recognize your HD as sda and you won't have the
problem you are experiencing.

I have yet to find a 'clean' solution to fix your problem - it involves
manual modifications to your resulting nodes and that is probably not
something you want to do on a cluster.

In any case, you can try to use a rescue CD (eg. first CD of RH9), boot
off the node and modify the HD's /etc/lilo.conf, then afterwards re-run
lilo in a chroot environment (I believe that should work).  I strongly
suggest you do some research on this before modifying anything on your
HD :)

I will continue to see if I can figure out a more general solution, but
in the mean time the best solution is to run a more recent Linux.

Good luck,

Bernard
