[SWLUG] 2 Help! problems booting

[Dick Bain]

yes but if you look in /etc/fstab your third drive will be listed as
some sort of file system which has an automount element in it so the
system will then be confused that it isn't there. your third drive
might have been listed as either hdc or hdd depending on whether it
was the master or slave on the second ide controller

Below is my fstab edited so it doesn't look at hdb and with two CD/DVD drives

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
