I am using a promise PCI IDE. The mainboard does not support DMA100 mode.
Linux finds the hardware and assigns hdf to the first drive on the
controller. I do not have a second board onthere but I assume it would be
hdg.

I am not sure why this is. The two on board IDE's would be hda - hdd


Thanks for the boot CD info.

Where do you change the boot level? This thing is booting to state 5 -
multi with KDE. I would like to start in state 3 with just text and then
move onto init 5.
