3) How do I figure out which /dev item corresponds to which drive? I have a hdc and hdd. Is hdc the master and hdd the slave?
On an IDE system with two IDE ports: hda = master on IDE 0 hdb = slave on IDE 0 hdc = master on IDE 1 hdd = slave on IDE 1You must have one of those newer Gateways or Dells that has the hard drive on the second IDE port for some reason. Does that serve some sort of purpose other than confusing people who have been putting the drive on the first IDE port since IDE was invented?
