The only thing I could think of was to set up another fstab with a different name and before I connect the disc to the Thinkpad I change them over.
Not very elegant but I hope it works.
The other thing that bothered me a little was the boot=/dev/hda in lilo.conf. I've set up a root=/dev/sda14 in the image section and the laptop does boot from the external drive so I'll wait and see what happens tomorrow when I try it.
Well - so far no good!
After changing the 'root=' option in lilo to /dev/sda14 instead of /dev/hda14 it still produces a kernel panic except that it refers to (8,14) instead of (3,14).
These are the only SCSI options set in the kernel config.
# # SCSI device support # CONFIG_SCSI=y # CONFIG_SCSI_PROC_FS is not set
# # SCSI support type (disk, tape, CD-ROM) # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y
/dev/sda14 exists in the /dev directory and I can mount the external drive if I boot from the laptop's internal hard drive.
I'm lost for ideas now. :-((
