Well i suspected as much , but i was uncertain whether the Original Poster
knew the difference . You see if the machine has an IDE Controller too
then
you have to ask the machine to boot from the SCSI Controller .
For Dell machines, that'd be /dev/sda
Do Dell machines come with just a SCSI Controller on them ?
I guess /dev/sda still maintains if's original meaning of
the first SCSI disk .
(we use TONS of 1850s and 2850s).
You mean Adaptec Host Adapter 1850 / 2850 ?
Kind Regards,
Kostas
