I've just downloaded and installed Debian, the following problems were 
encountered:

1. My PC have 2 harddisks and 1 CD-ROM:
   Primary IDE Master:          4.3G (hda), LBA MODE
   Primary IDE Slave:                   NONE
   Secondary IDE Master:        SONY CD-ROM(CDU611)
   Secondary IDE Slave:         2.1G (hdd), LBA MODE

I installed Windows95 osr2 on hda first and then installed Debian on hdd from 
drive c. The installation of Debian seemed to be successful(except before LILO 
was installed, it's said that Debian would try to boot from my secondary 
harddisk but perhaps my CMOS doesn't support it), but after reboot Debian 
failed to boot from hdd. And I noticed that the size of my secondary 
harddisk(2.1G) in CMOS Setup Menu had been set to 528MB. How to explain this 
and how can Debian boot from my secondary harddisk? Should I set the harddisk 
mode from LBA to NORMAL before installing Debian?

2. What's the difference between primary partition and logical partition in 
Linux?  Which should I select when I partition my harddisk for Debian?

A lot of thanks!!
