Re: [cobalt-users] raq4i vs raq4r

["mjc" <mjc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

thanks.
paying so much money, i wanted to make sure that I am using the right
machine anyway.
I went to telnet and did /usr/local/sbin/cobalt_gestalt | more.
and I saw "DISKNUM = 1". so, I was wondered. Do I have only one HD?(thought
it was 2 HD).
Is it normal for 4r ?

TIA
m chung
