What is the kernel error message you are getting? I was having problems
getting a second disk to work as sdb1 -- it seems to give a page fault (or
something like that) and about 10 lines of hex dump with an "Aiyee, Kernel
Panic" or some other funny message like that. When I only use one of the
drives it works fine. And I can use /dev/sdb2.
Once I start getting X up I'll try to figure out my disks problems a
little more... Right now, running 'X' gives the message
execve failed for /etc/X11/X (errno 8)
I tried copying over Xsgi from another indy but I got the same error
message. Any suggestions/any documentation?
