Re: Can I define SCSI device order?

[Paul Furness <paul.furness@vil.ite.mee.com>]

Absolutely. The "internal" controller is an embedded one on the
motherboard. I'm calling it "internal" because it's being used to
control the hard disks which are inside the box. The "external"
controller is a normal, PCI card. I'm calling it "external" here because
it it being used to drive a disk array which is in a different box. 

I don't have any option to change the settings of the motherboard; I can
indeed disable the embedded controller, but that means I'll need to go
and buy another controller. 


<sigh> Just once I'd love something important to also be easy. :)
