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

[Kim-man 'Punky' TSE]

Hi Philip,

I am that cv860A recognize the flash card as hdc instead of hda.  So

1. Find a way to make cv860A to recognize the flash card as hda; or
2. Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst (and may be /etc/fstab) and edit the 
parameter to boot from hdc and make hdc mount as root.

Regards,
Punky
