From my perspective, you have three choices: - Move cables, and make your original drive the master of the first IDE channel, so it is assigned drive #0 again. You will need to change the boot sequence in your BIOS to match, of course.
- Boot in single user mode and edit /etc/fstab, changing all wd0 references to wd2.
- Give up and reinstall.
I'd recommend either option 1 or option 2. |
I think option 2. Sounds like a simple fix.
BTW, I have one of those BIOSes that allow choosing a boot drive on the fly.
Best wishes.
