That's a hardware issue, with the drives themselves, not the OS.  The
drive is master or slave, set by the jumpers or the cable.  If the drive
is set, the OS doesn't care how, nor know how.  If the drive does not
get set properly by one method or the other, you have a crap drive.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
