Linux on PowerPC FAQ-O-Matic : Booting Trouble : Same external SCSI drive, several different machines?
	To get a reasonable way of using the same SCSI external drive on several different machines, you may need to update the fstab and quik.conf files under using Quik under MacOS. This will be nescessary if you are swapping the drive back and forth between a machine that has both 2 SCSI busses and a machine that has only 1 SCSI bus. So the root partition on the external drive would appear as (for example) sdb4 on one machine (with 2 busses) and sda4 on the other (with 1 bus.) The actual problem isn't the root partition, but the swap partition, since you can specify the root partition from OF, but not swap space. It only takes a few seconds (in MacOS) to update the fstab and quik.conf from the desired machine and then you are set. sean_cleary@csufresno.edu
