Have you installed an image of a live cd or did you install a normal linux system? Do you have one or more HDDs? Partition 9 is on your primary master?
Answers: 1]I installed by running "installer" at the root prompt since the Live CD could not use my ATi Radeon XPress 200 integrated graphic to present me the graphical Live CD. 2]Only 1 HDD. 3]IIRC,the HDD is the primary master while my combo drive is the Secondary master and there are no slaves. @Chetan It's not a SATA drive,it's a PATA,the specific model number is Samsung SP0842N. @Jtd Please look to my previous post wherein I said that I gave it s as well as h options for the partition which would be mounted as /.
