Hi
Since Fedora Core 1 and the support of SATA disks there haw been a
problem in detection of standard boot device.
The Fedora installer dont detect what device the bios will boot on.
Annaconda standard boot on /dev/hda if it is present, but the people
that have a SATA disk as primary boot device, will have to switch the
boot loader to that device. If not, the bootloader will not boot,
because it is set on hda (the secondary harddisk).
It would be a god idea to have Anaconda detect what primary bootdevice
from the bios. (like SuSE)
I have seen a lot of frustrated newbees telling me that Fedora 2 dont
support SATA disks, and thats a shame.
