adding a hard drive

[Dan A. Milisic]

My dirt-cheap fix was a *very* generic Promise IDE controller from a PC =
and
an IDE disc.  It works fine as long you don't want to boot MacOS.  My =
system
boots the internal SCSI, then BootX tells the kernel to boot from (in my
case) /dev/hde3.  IIRC partitioning was a pain, but this was some time =
ago,
the tools may be better now.

I want to add a hd to my linux machine, 7300 (ide card)

my question is, will linux recognize the hd when i boot up and then =
allow=20
me to format it (fdisk I presume)??

thanks

netz

originally, i wanted to make the hd hfs, but it seems linux will be here =

to stay, at least in that mac, so a linux filesystem will work.
