Refering to * sign below...i saw this message on my first boot fedora core 4.
my sda is connected to external storage and sdb is the internal scsi drive....i install the grub/mbr in sdb

but i a bit curious...during installation...i choose the manual partition....why the installation detect external storage as sda and internal drive as sdb. It suppose to detect internal as sda.
It detects it as the scsi-chain (or you bios) comes up.
If the 1:st scsi driver loaded is the one for your external storage it will become sda...
To change this you could change the order of the scsi-hostadapter in your modprobe.conf and rebuild your initrd.img...
But there is no real need for that...

how about if i want to change it during linux first installation?...change at bios?
Not possible...
Or rather you have to change the initrd.img on the install media (cd, network or what ever..)
