I am using RedHat 7.1. My ks.cfg file looks like the following....so I did have numbers after the hda. clearpart --all part /boot --size 16 --ondisk hda1 part swap --size 512 --ondisk hda2 part /usr --size 1000 --grow --maxsize 2000 --ondisk hda5 part /usr/local --size 1000 --grow --maxsize 2000 --ondisk hda6 part / --size 250 --ondisk hda7 part /var --size 1000 --grow --maxsize 2000 --ondisk hda8 part /home --size 1000 --grow --ondisk hda9 part /fofdata --size 3000 --grow --ondisk hdb1 I was under the impression that the following was true -- hda1 = the first hard drive, primary partition 1 hda2 = first hard drive, primary partition 2 hda5 = first hard drive, logical partition 1 etc hdb1 = second hard drive, primary partition 1 so, if I don't have numbers after the term hda, how do I specify the primary and logical partitions?
