RE: Mapping drives

[Treutwein Bernhard]

Hi David,

I do not have a system at hand, which uses mapping
(they are both at home, maybe you send me a mail 
to my home address a a reminder if it is stil necessary)
but as I remember it, I used (for DOS on the second HD, 
i.e. Grub (hd1,0) )

map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
chainloader (hd1,0)+1

as you expected, the chainloader uses the "physical" mapping.

I recently added a SCSI disk to a system with Linuxes on an 
IDE disk and I had to do a similar mapping. I still get an
error message popping up, just before W2K starting from the
second disk (SCSI Target 0, LUN 0, but IDE before ...). 
W2K boots nicely is working ok as far as I can see.

Hope that helps
