You're right!  Thanks!

I don't know how that happened - I had no reason to edit that part of
the command line.  Though my vi skills are rusty, and I suppose I
slipped up.  I'll have to get emacs installed on that machine.

I am amazed that I actually reported the kernel command line
(transcribing my hand-written notes) accurately in my message.

Thanks again!


Of course, I still want the system to recognize a second SATA disk.

I'll try that next.
