Unless Promise does something exotic for RAID, I would expect your hard drives to be hda-120G and hdb-120G as master/slave on the primary controller, with hdc-CDROM alone on the second controller. Or is this no longer necessary??? --Doc Savage Fairview Heights, IL -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
