[Voyage-linux] ALERT! /dev/hda1 doe not exist

[Philip A. Chapman]

I downloaded voyage-0.3.1.tar.bz2 onto my ubuntu laptop, untarballed it,
and used the voyage.update script to install voyage onto a compact flash
card using a usb card reader.  I'm installing on a via cv860A, so I
chose profile "Generic PC", console "standard", no pcmcia, and grub as
my bootstrap.  The usb card reader had me writing to /dev/sdb, where I
created a single partition.

I put the card in my via and started it.  It hangs for a long time
waiting for root file system.  It then gies me the error:

    ALERT! /dev/hda1 does not exist.  Dropping to shell!

then:

    /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off

In the shell, i see that only /dev/hdc and /dev/hdc1 exist.  I rename
them to /dev/hda and /dev/hda1 respectively and am able to mount the
file system.  After this, however, I am lost.  I do not know how to fix
the problem so that /dev/hda and /dev/hda1 will exist.  Any pointers
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
