If I understand what you're asking do an 'rdev /dev/hda1'. Usually that is what is set automatically unless your primary is not on hda1. Try to give us more information. There is the possibility that you didn't include the correct drive configuration options. good luck Kirk -- Kirk Reiser The Computer Braille Facility e-mail: kirk at braille.uwo.ca University of Western Ontario phone: (519) 661-3061
