Re: [Morphix-devel] September 5th - Morphix SVN Commit Day

[Eli M. <ma...@ne...>]

I created a new virtual machine, used IDE rather than the default and
recommended SCSI, and then everything worked, even with 0.3 (of course
with /dev/hda instead of /dev/sda, and /dev/hda1 instead of /dev/sda1).

It still looks critical for me, because it's going to be a very
frequent question of new users.

In addition, contrary to /dev/sda1, it seems that /dev/hda1 is not
mounted automatically during system boot, so it's not a real
replacement.
