[NTLUG:Discuss] Boot from SATA drive

[Jack Snodgrass]

Two more things... 
1). I did change me /etc/fstab to use /usr/local and swap on the 
sata (/dev/sda5 and /dev/sda2 )drive  so I know that the drive is
recognized and supported. It's only boot time that is trying to 
access the root partition that has the issue. I wonder if the 
kernel has sata support or if it's supposed to be in the initrd 
thing that loads at boot and is not in there.... 

2) I didn't see this get to my gmail account I sent it from. 
Has anyone had any problems with mail not showing up on gmail
from the list server?
