Trouble with Smoothwall (Linux firewall) install

Howdy,

Hoping some Linux gurus might be able to help.

I'm trying to install a new copy of Smoothwall on to a box that was running Smoothwall for years.

I get through setup okay until it partitions my hard drive. It says "Unable to create boot partition".

I discovered it is trying to partition /dev/sda, but upon inspection with gpartd, my drive is actually found at /dev/hda.

How can I force Smoothwall to see my drive on /dev/hda? I've scoured the community forums to no avail.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Not ideal, though. Stupid computers. (it wasn't the drive jumpers, so the cause is still unresolved)

I started to learn Linux again and I'm now curious about this program.
