Subject: Matching hard disks to BIOS boot order
Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2009 00:26:16 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A31D8E8.4090200@3gfp.com> (raw)

Is there a way to figure out which hard disks match the BIOS boot order?

I'm trying to tell a Linux program which disk to use based on the disk 
numbers (0,1,...) used by Windows. The best solution I've found so far 
is disk serial number, but that hasn't been terribly reliable for other 
reasons.

Thanks, H.
