[cobalt-developers] Qube3 Boot Options



Hi Guys,

Wandering around the LCD interface on my Qube3 I find that I can select a
bunch of boot devices;

hda1    hda2    hda3    hda4
hdb1    hdb2    hdb3    hdb4
hdc1    hdc2    hdc3    hdc4
hdd1    hdd2    hdd3    hdd4
sda1    sda2    sda3    sda4
sdb1    sdb2    sdb3    sdb4
md0     md2     md3     md3

What do these equate to physically?

For example, if I had a Qube3 Pro Ed, but disabled RAID (i.e. did a Qube3
Bus Ed OS Restore) ... could I have a completely independent "system" on the
2nd disk and selectively boot from either disk via LCD Control Panel
selection?

Also, if the identified boot device is not available, does the Qube3 cycle
through a sequence or will it just sit waiting?

Cheers,  Malcolm
