I know of 2 solutions. 1) unplug your scsi disks; reinstall; add the disks again manually afterwards. 2) Modify grub.conf and device.map. On my box (long since gone) I had to change hd1,0 to hd0,0 in grub.conf and swap /dev/sda and /dev/hda in device.map. I'd then run # /sbin/grub --batch --device-map=/boot/grub/device.map<<EOF root (hd0,0) setup (hd0,0) quit EOF I did this from a kickstart postinstall script, but I think it should work if you boot in rescue mode from a cd.
