[cobalt-developers] Second IDE device on a Qube 3?

[Ed Halley <ed@xxxxxxxxx>]

There are two IDE cable headers inside the Qube 3, to match the two
drive bays.  The single-drive setup uses the IDE header closest to the
edge of the baseboard pcb, and Linux enumerates that as /dev/hda.

I tried a second drive in bay two, but this doesn't appear as /dev/hdb
with a simple fdisk listing.  Is this a second IDE chain (so both drives
should be considered solo on their chain), or is this the same IDE chain
(requiring master/slave jumpers, which seems odd if the second bay was
intended for software RAID)?

I don't want to use RAID, just interested in adding capacity for
automated bz2 archive spooling.  Any pointers would be helpful.
