Question about booting and harddrive

[wallberg]

Is there a possibility to deactivate harddrives in Knoppix?

check the cheatcodes here

one prime suspect is


nofstab
By default Knoppix will look/scan the HDs to see if it contains partitions. If the HDs do have partitions, Knoppix will automatically build a '/etc/fstab' file and fill-in the appropriate partition entries and will also create the '/mnt/hdxx' mount points. The 'nofstab' cheat code prevents this look/scan and prevents the generation of the /etc/fstab and its mount points.
