Hmm, on one of my 7200s /dev/sda is on mesh id 0 the standard apple setup is the hard disk is id 0 cdrom id 3. > Oh, well. I'll compile a 2.2.18 or 19pre2 and test it with quik. if you use 2.2.19 use pre13 or later, earlier versions didn't compile on powerpc. pre13 has all the needed patches to fix all the powerpc issues that cropped up. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
