Well, then you gotta fix _this_ problem first. You can't label a drive the kernel hasn't found. Review your boot messages, look into your kernel config file (if you've got a custom kernel), etc. You didn't provide any information about this that would allow us to help you. Once the kernel has found the drive, go and try what the FAQ is suggesting. Btw., you're really going to setup a news server with IDE drives? Awful. Perhaps it's just a typo though. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
