Hi all, I have a kickstart file that works for /dev/sda. I now need to detect an HP server and use /dev/cciss instead of hard coded /dev/sda. How can I detect what the name of the device is and use /dev/cciss and not /dev/sda? Jerry

Server hardware and installs vary too much to standardize disk layouts, packages, sure, but not disks. -Ross
