Hello!

I've got a problem, that my Pentium doesn't want to boot from the 
second IDE HDD if it is on the second controller.

It starts booting, then it recognizes both HDDs
the second one on the second controller, and it assigns it wd2 driver.

Though, then it tries to mount wd1a as a root partition, panics and
reboots.
(I have /etc/fstab with wd2..)

Any idea /advise ?
