My system is now as follows:
1 GB hdd as hda (debian is here)
HP cd-writer as hdd
I've tried all the combinations possible without changing the old setup.
If I put that IBM harddisk as hdb the computer doesn't boot...
Maybe I have to change the cd-writer into hdb? And put that IBM drive
into hdc?
I will try again this evening. My computer is at home, I'm writing this at
my working place.
