I could be wrong, but I came across something somewhere that says that if you have a SCSI and an IDE dirve in the same system, the SCSI will be the default boot device. Regardless of how you fdisk it. I run a SCO box that did the same thing. I didn't pursue the matter, just took out the SCSI drive, so I can't say for sure. Try making the SCSI the boot device, and the IDE slave? bc -- The China House Sheng Huo Jiu Shi Dou Zheng robert@chalmers.com.au for Whirled Peas http://www.chalmers.com.au Location: Whitsunday Web Works. 21'7" S, 149'14" E.
