I forgot to ask, does it boot okay on it's own?

The reason I ask is because a socket 7 I have couldn't directly boot the
40G drive, let alone be able to detect it properly, so I had to add a
different boot device in order to bypass the bios detection and boot Linux.
 I used a compactflash disk for that purpose, although a floppy boot should
also work.  I had to make sure the 40G was turned off in the bios or it
wouldn't even get to a bootup of anything.  Worked fine after all that.
