Note
The system device mapping order is the same as the order shown in HPT37x BIOS
Setting Utility. If you have no other SCSI adapters installed, the device marked as
" BOOT" or " HDD0" will be /dev/sda, " HDD1" will be /dev/sdb, " HDD2" will be
/dev/sdc, etc. When creating mount points, you must mount /boot on /dev/sda.
12) When asked where to install lilo, you must select Master Boot Record (MBR) to
make your system be able to boot from HPT37x controller. For Redhat 7.2, you may
choose GRUB as system loader.
13) (HPT370/372 only) If you are installing Red Hat Linux 7.1/7.2 onto hard disk(s)
attached to HPT370 or HPT372, when " Installation Complete" dialog appears, an
additional step must be taken to replace the installed kernel with our new kernel,
which has HPT366 IDE support removed. On the driver disk, there is a setup script
"postinstall" which will do this work for you. When the "Installation Complete"
dialog appears, DO NOT press ENTER. Press Alt-F2 to activate the command shell
and type in the following commands:
for Red Hat Linux 7.1
# chroot /mnt/sysimage
# mount /mnt/floppy
# sh /mnt/floppy/postinstall
# umount /mnt/floppy
