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 |
