should show-disks list device path for "Device 2 ( Secondary Master )"?
i have spent the last 2 hours searching google and these forums for answers to the following questions. please, does anybody here know the answers? (see below for details of what iDO know):
1. probe-ide reports my 2nd internal hdd as ""Device 2 ( Secondary Master )". what do i have to do to make show-disks list a device path for my 2nd internal hdd?
2. devalias reports aliases for 5 disks. am i correct in assuming that these are only "reserved" aliases and that they don't necessarily map to actual devices?
assuming the alias "disk1" and the device path "/pci@1f,0/ide@d/disk@1,0" do actually map to "Device 2 ( Secondary Master )"; i expect that either one or the other of the following commands would result in booting from "Device 2 ( Secondary Master )":
ok boot disk1
ok boot /pci@1f,0/ide@d/disk@1,0
3. but why does "ok .properties" on "/pci@1f,0/ide@d/disk@1,0" report the name as "disk" instead of "disk1" (see below)?
4. what non-destructive command would prove that the alias "disk1" and the device path "/pci@1f,0/ide@d/disk@1,0" actually maps to "Device 2 ( Secondary Master )"?
thanks in advance for your help
NOTE: i don't have an os on the 2nd internal hddYET. i am only preparing for when i do eventually install an os on that drive. so you would be wasting your time replying with answers like, "just try it and see".
btw, the 2nd internal hdd works fine. i have been using it with no problem for the past 2 years. it is formatted as one big soft partition with 5 or 6 user-defined file systems; each on its own slice. but it does not have an os on it yet.
this is what i know:
ok probe-ide
Device 0( Primary Master )
ATA Model: ST320011A
Device 1( Primary Slave )
Removeable ATAPI Model: LTN486S
Device 2( Secondary Master )
ATA Model: Maxtor 6Y120P0
Device 3( Secondary Slave )
