When Red Hat 7.1 boots, it checks for "New Hardware". I have a laptop that has 
two modular bays. The hard drive consumes one bay. Before I boot, I either put in the 
CDROM or floppy drive in the 2nd bay. If I want to switch devices, I currently have to 
halt the system, swap the devices, and reboot.  Is there a way to switch the modular 
devices once Red Hat has booted, without halting? I am buying a second hard drive and 
would like to be able to swap out the current device (floppy or CDROM), put in any 
other modular device (e.g. the new hard drive), and use it (e.g. mount it and use it). 
Is this possible?

Thanks for any replies in advance.
