First off the kernel needs to have support build in for your second controller. well really your third and fourth controller most likely. I do believe that slackware has support for the promise controllers built in to the bare.i boot disk. If not this could be a bit of a problem assuming that is the kind of controller you have. In either case it is probable that the drive that is in question is really /dev/hde. If you need anymore help just call or write. It could get a little tricky to set this up and boot off of that drive. Unless your thinking of booting from a floppy the lilo config to boot this setup will prove to be a learning experience for you. -- Frank Carmickle phone: 412 761-9568 email: frankiec@dryrose.com
