Hi, I think I found a typo in chapter 9 ("Configuring the Bootloader") of the "Gentoo Handbook Installation Instructions" document available at the following address: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook.xml?part=1&chap=9 The following sentence: "/dev/hdd7 gets translated to (hd1,6)" should either read "/dev/hdd7 gets translated to (hd3,6)" or "/dev/hdb7 gets translated to (hd1,6)". Regards, chris Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. go to http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook.xml?part=1&chap=9 2. search for string "/dev/hdd7 gets translated to (hd1,6)" 3. the string in 2 in wrong Actual Results: The string "/dev/hdd7 gets translated to (hd1,6)" is wrong Expected Results: The string "/dev/hdd7 gets translated to (hd1,6)" should either read "/dev/hdd7 gets translated to (hd3,6)" or "/dev/hdb7 gets translated to (hd1,6)"
Yes, you are right. Thanks for reporting :-)
No, this is wrong. hda = (hd0), hdb is a cd-rom drive and therefore not counted, hdc a cd-rom burner and therefore also not counted, making hdd = (hd1)
I'll undo the done changes...
Document updated
From Handbook: "Assuming you have a hard drive on /dev/hda, a cdrom player on /dev/hdb, a burner on /dev/hdc, a second hard drive on /dev/hdd and no SCSI hard drive, /dev/hdd7 gets translated to (hd1,6)." No, i had fixed it earlier, /dev/hdd is second hard drive, so it is possible that /dev/hdd7 exists. it should read either '/dev/hda7 gets translated to (hd1,6)' or '/dev/hdd7 gets translated to (hd3,6)'. Both are valid. Repoening this bug. :/
okay.. sorry, i misunderstood what you said. marking as Fixed again. :/
*sigh* :-)
