Tim, The doc does mention it, see code listing 14: # mkdir /mnt/gentoo # mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/gentoo # mkdir /mnt/gentoo/boot # mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot Thus, in this example you install the main part onto the 3rd partion of the first IDE disk (/dev/hda3), and the boot stuff (GRUB and kernel image) onto /dev/hda1. Put in your partitions of choice (e.g. /dev/hdb3 and /dev/hdb1). However, do read up on dual / multi boot (Google and find the HOWTOs) so you know how to set up GRUB or whatever boot loader you wish to use. I assume there is still something installed on your first IDE disk... Gwendolyn. -----Original Message----- I have just installed a second hard disk in my PC and partitioned it using the provided tools and provided space for a linux install. Looking through the install doc for x86 there is no mention of selecting which physical disk/partition to install into, does anybody have any pointers?
