I installed Debian slink in a second hard drive, which is hdb1 (there
are hda1 to hda4), my system does not allow booting from a slave hard
drive, so I use the floppy system, but it is very slow. What can I do to
accelerate it?

This is what I've had to do... in your /etc/lilo.conf, edit the line that
says boot=/dev/hdb1 (or whatever..)
and change it to say /dev/fd0 (your first floppy disk)... Then save the
file, insert a blank disk. After that, just type lilo from your command
prompt. On my computer, /etc/lilo.conf looks like this...
boot=/dev/fd0
root=/dev/hdb1
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map vga=normal
delay=20
image=/vmlinuz
label=Linux
read-only
then, when I run the lilo command, it looks like this:
LinuxBox:~# lilo
If you have a blank disk in the floppy, it should say something like "Added
Linux *" or something like that. Then, the next time you reboot, use the
floppy you just made, to start linux...
Hope this helps,
Brant
