Hello
I just tryied to install Fedora core 6, but stopped it before disk
partitionning.
I use a motherboard with 2 integrated raid controllers : one in the
nforce chipset, another one with a Silicon Image controller. My disk is
plugged in the silicon image controller.
I have also a firewire hard drive.
After boot, kernel messages tell me that the firewire hard drive is
known as /dev/sda and the internal S-ATA drive as /dev/sdb.
The fedora wizard wanted to use the /dev/sda drive as main drive. I can
easily use /dev/sdb instead of and manually modify grub paths in order
to have a clean boot.
I wonder : if I go with this setup (boot partitions on /dev/sdb), if I
don't have the external hard drive plugged or turned on while the kernel
load, my internal drive will be mapped to /dev/sda ? What would happen
during the mount of partition ? the root partition won't be mounted ?
I have not always the external hard drive , so I think the best
workaround would be to turn it off , install FC6, and never have the
external drive turned on if i want the boot to pass. Or maybe someone
has a better idea ?
Thanks in advance.
