There's no reason you can't boot of hdf. It's just a name. No need for it to be hda. > I can't change fstab or the system won't umount right?

No, you need to change first the MBR boot partition, then boot single user and change your fstab. > Is there an automated way to do this. Using SuSe 7.3 I wouldn't know. This isn't really something that ought be automated. -- gabriel rosenkoetter gr@eclipsed.net Attachment:
