I'm sorry, that is the result of my clumsiness. There is only one HD, and it is a SATA drive. The DFSee report came back naming "hda" in both places above, and I replaced one of the instances with "sda" as I was mulling over the significance of what appears to be an error of some sort. I forgot to change it back when I sent my note to this forum.
The only "hda" on the machine is the CD/DVD drive. That is a certain, as you can see from the fact that, when I need to unmount the CD/DVD drive in order to eject a disk, my command is "umount /dev/hda".
I ran DFSee v9.xx from OS/2, because that is the only way I can do it. The whole problem, of course, is that I can't access Linux. I do not have a DFSee v9.xx bootable disk, but I do have one for v8.02, but I am sure this earlier version does not give a much detail as the new v9.xx does. Do you want me to run DFSDISK with DFSee v8? Or some other report? Nothing would be easier, just say the word.
http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/tmp/dfsee/p-t18f.txt shows you what I was looking for. Run from OS/2, it's simply the content of dfswork.log that DFSee tries to generate when you start it, press <RETURN>, and then exit, except that I've stripped away portions at the head of the file that are not useful for our purposes here. The Linux version does the same thing, except that the format of the table differs somewhat. 'part -b-' would simply append the DOS/OS2/doz-style table to the rest of it.
As long as you're appending files, include /etc/grub.conf. Better yet, attach nothing, but instead post dfswork.log as dfswork1.txt in web space as I did above, and, also as above, put a link to it in your reply.
I do not know how you got the log file to get all that detail. The one I have
is much simpler, even allowing for the fact that my hardware is much simplet
than yours. Given its size, I think it's OK to just post it here. Here is the
file:

________________________________________________________________________________ 1 Despite what the heading says, I HAVE registered it, but not yet put the key file in -- I am leaving the country in three days, and am panicked with things left to do, which is why this could not have happened at a worse time. Jan has explained to me that DFSee calls ALL disks e.g. "hda" rather than "sda", because it doesn't see the interface anyway. I did not ask him what happens in a system with both serial and parallel HDs. If I have misunderstood your instructions, please give me more detailed ones, and I will follow them as well as I can. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel I hate puns.
