SCSI's, yes. I've got two SCSI drives. Debian is on
the first, BSD is on the second. My BIOS boots only
one way: it boots to my 2nd drive automatically.
Configuring the setup in any other way on my IWILL
motherboard does nothing.
In /etc/lilo.conf, I added the line:
``loader=/boot/any_d.b''
and retried. Nothing whatsoever happens. So it
must be that (1) the BIOS is only looking at my
second drive; and that (2) LILO is never being
seen.
Do you have any other ideas? I've got Debian rooted
on LUN0, FreeBSD on LUN2. FreeBSD default boots;
and the only way to get into Debian is with a boot
floppy. My m'board is an IWILL with an Adaptec
SCSI adaptor built in.
Thanks for any clues here,
gary
