OK, well, all seems well, I do have an init script that works, and displayserver runs in noauth mode.
However, I am getting a rather ugly looking error on remount of partitions;

Tried to mount /proc but got error 16
Error mounting partitions (possibly already mounted)
Remounting first music partition read-only
Remounting second music partition read-only
No secondary hard disk

But I do have this:

Probing primary interface...
hda: IBM-DARA-218000, ATA DISK drive
hdb: IBM-DARA-218000, ATA DISK drive
ide0 at 0x000-0x007,0x038 on irq 6
hda: IBM-DARA-218000, 17301MB w/418kB Cache, CHS=35152/16/63
hdb: IBM-DARA-218000, 17301MB w/418kB Cache, CHS=35152/16/63

So I am thinking something is incorrect in the init, btw it is a dual drive mk2.
And lo and behold, drive1 isnt mounted.
but the new init has this stuff in it:

bin/mount -n -o nocheck,rw /proc
/bin/mount -n -o nocheck,ro /dev/hda4 /drive0
[ -e /proc/ide/hdc ] && /bin/mount -n -o nocheck,ro /dev/hdc4 /drive1

cd /usr/local/displayserver
./displayserver -noauth
exec /sbin/init.before_displayserver

any particular reason why drive1 isnt being mounted?

Thanks
