I'm feeling really dumb right now. Okay, I'm not dumb, I'm just lacking
the information that I need at this time.
I just installed a new SATA 1TB Seagate Barracuda drive in my Lenny box
with FVWM as my window manager. This is the first time that I have
installed a SATA drive. How do I determine what drive name to use to
repartition and reformat the drive. With an IDE drive I can tell what it
is from its position on the cable. That doesn't work with SATA.
I have looked at the output of blkid, as well as looking through
/dev/disk/ and I don't see anything that looks like the new drive to me.
I also didn't have anything jump out at me from dmesg.
Can anyone tell me where I should be looking, and what I should be
looking for?
Do I need to make changes in the BIOS to recognize SATA drives?
