so basically, I'll need to rebuild the kernel to NOT look for the sda device (that's a SCSI device isn't it?) If I were to specify 'no scsi' in the bootup of the CD, then do a reinstall, do you think it would knock that bit out? I'm not sure if when you do an hd install if it recompiles the kernel for you or not.

Thanks, by the way, even though this isn't solved yet, it's at least massaging my brain a little bit.
