Hi,

Having just recieved a new Simtec IDE card I am keen to have the drive 
containing my BSD partition connected to the new IDE bus. The drive is 
recognised fine on the RiscOS side, but obviously the device names for BSD have 
changed since the change of interface. Does anybody have any ideas as to what 
they should be, or even if I can use the partition which has been set up for 
another interface?


Is all that is needed a change to the fstab file and some fiddling with the 
filing system configuration, or am I better of re-installing the whole thing 
from scratch?

I was told by Simtec that I would need a new kernel. Anybody have any ideas 
which one?

Ideally I would prefer to have kept my two hard drives connected to the Acorn 
IDE bus, and only use the Simtec card for my CD-ROM, but as CD support is not 
yet present in Simtec IDEFS I have had to re-arrange things a bit. Anyone know 
if a CD drive connected to the Simtec card will be accessable from Unix?

On a similar theme, if I were to have the CD drive and the BSD partition 
connected to the Acorn IDE bus, what changes to the filing system configuration 
would need to be made? In this case the device names for the BSD partition have 
changed from /dev/wd1a to /dev/wd0a, as my BSD disk has now become Drive 4 on 
the RiscOS side if things.

Thanks in advance

Duncan
