    Well now that is something I did not know. I have been using fdisk 
to tell me what is going on and if it says /dev/sdf3 I use mount and it 
mounts /dev/sdf3 as I desired on F7. I got my SATA drive working as 
/dev/sdf and it seems to be happy. Of course Grub thinks it is /dev/sdb 
which is a real shock to me.
