[G4] mounting partitions across separate drives

[Kristen R]

List,

	After a lot of frustration with my G4 locking up and failing to come  
out of sleep, I have finally found my trouble. I removed the new  
Sonnet Tempo SATA controller card and direct connected back to the  
original ATA drive. Everything is functioning so well I was able to  
install Leopard without a hitch and am running on it now. I'm not too  
pleased with the Sonnet folks over this one. While their claim that  
you can boot from their controller card does work, it comes with  
problems which are not addressed or mentioned. They are important ones!

	But using this old ATA-33 drive and interface has really slowed the  
machine down. Has anyone ever tried to use the default IDE interface  
to boot yet used a SATA interface for the root directories? It's my  
thought that I can use the IDE to boot and recover from sleep yet use  
the SATA drive for it's speed and space, and also to load programs or  
save data.

Else I guess I would need to look at a new controller card and hope  
that I don't have a similar issue. The Acard brand has a controller  
which provides a single connection each for an IDE and SATA drive. But  
I don't know if I would have the same issues or not.

Your thoughts or websites you know of which might help me out would be  
greatly appreciated!
