I can't remember. but if you look in /var/lib/systemimager/scripts/<somename>.master then you can see what the installer is going to try and do. I believe the ide.disk, scsi.disk thing is just some intermediate step(*), and that all the info ends up in the *.master script(**), so you can read that and work out what it's going to try and do. cheers, robin (*) not 100% sure of that - maybe wait for a reply from the OSCAR people. (**) although as I previously noted on this list, the *.master script is slightly odd/broken and will always try to install on the first disk, even if you tell it to use the second. sigh. > >I didn't think it did, but then I wasn't sure when things started breaking. > >On 3/12/07, Robin Humble <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> On Mon, Mar 12, 2007 at 03:28:58PM -0600, Jason Hlady wrote: >> >I've gotten as far as building the client images, and have assigned >> >the nodes.
