No, hd* are harddisks as reported by BIOS. So, you can have: hd0: scsi hdd hd1: 2nd slave hdd (with no hdd in other drives) > If I'm right, it will get more confusing if/when computers have more > than 2 primary ide ports as I think grub's notation will number ALL the > master drives before any of the slaves... Grub numbers all harddisk drives, in the order the BIOS reports them. It doesn't care about master/slave, primary/secondary, etc. Regards, Luciano Rocha
