well i just followed the handbook and created sda1 = swap and sda2 = ext3 = / |
9 |
|
10 |
does this mean im wasting my time on this very slloooow install and |
11 |
that its not even going to boot when im finished? or does the boot |
12 |
loader see ext3 as well? |
13 |
|
14 |
also i thought that it saw all my drives, but the bios ( or what alpha |
15 |
calls a bios ) see's all 3 9gig drives, but gentoo only see's sda, |
16 |
when i went looking in /dev/ it only has the nods for sda and sda1 and |
17 |
sda2 for some reason, i found a tips and tricks on the gentoo.org |
18 |
website on how to make raid nods, but that didnt seem to work for sdb |
19 |
and sdc. is this normal for alpha to only see the first drive? is |
20 |
there a way to make the nods to actually make use of the other drives |
21 |
in the system? |
22 |

thanks |
