What puzzle?

All I did was try to decipher the boot messages, and the partition info they contained, back to this later. Then I looked at fstab and init, and couldnt figure out why a process was mounted as a volume (/proc/ide/hdb), so I though Hugo must be smarter than I (And he is!), so I figured drive1 must be hdc4 (drive0 is hda4, so why not). Then, remembering the boot messages, I figured, why the heck not!
So I added to fstab, and modified the line in init to move the proc mounting lower, and edited the drive1 mount string to hdc4.
From what I gathered Frank's original init had this in it:
[ -e /proc/ide/hdc ] && /bin/mount -n -o nocheck,ro /dev/hdc4 /drive1

So I replaced it with this:
/bin/mount -n -o nocheck,ro /dev/hdc4 /drive1
[ -e /proc/ide/hdc ]

As per my previous posts.

I have now no problems mounting/remounting/unmounting volumes, and synching generates no extraordinary error messages (in hyperterm).

Dare I say I licked it? The problem, my empeg has already given me a good shock! ;-)

Is this set in stone with drive0 being hda4, drive1 being hdc4, and /proc/ide... being hdb4 ?? (And why?)

Enlighten me!
