MANY thanks for your patient help.

Summary: SCSI card recognized (cheers heard as far
as the neighbors), 2 devices found, cannot
seem to mount.

There is a hard drive (formatted for windows2000, sorry),
HPt20 drive, and a Yamaha 4x4x16 tape drive on the chain.
It looks like the first two were detected, but could not
figure out how to mount. Mounting this particular hard
drive is not a big issue as today
I am adding a second (new, empty) hard drive that will be dedicated to LINUX. When I can mount this, I would like
to move the root (not boot)
over to this hard drive--I have started
to study your (coffee stained) HOWTO on this subject.
 
At the very least,
I will have a user directory on this external drive.

I also tried
cd /dev
./MAKEDEV st0 (should I have used sd--something?).

Anyway, if there were a mouse with lots of LINUX
experience in the corner of my room, I'm sure he would
be selling tickets for a comedy show --
to witness my "experiences" (i.e. the response
to "make all" was cc: not recognized! - to conserve disk
space, I had not installed the C-compiler).

fstab and the dmesg are reproduced below.

Message Administration

This form allows you to delete, move, or copy one or more messages. You can move messages by copying and deleting the original. The action will be applied to the messages you select above and all replies to those selected messages.


If you want to copy or move messages, specify the HyperNews path of a destination forum or message that all messages will be copied or moved to. The destination must already exist, so maybe create it first.

Path of Destination (a Forum or Message): (e.g. "test")

Notify Subscribers at destination
NO


If you want to delete messages (the default), specify that here. If you want to move messages, you need to delete the original messages; placeholders will be left pointing to where they were moved.

Delete Messages
NO


Caution: After deleteing messages (the default), if you have not copied them (i.e. no destination above), then the selected messages are not be recoverable.
