>From what I can tell from the LILO documentation, LILO can't boot from the slave drive on the primary IDE controller. Is this correct?
I don't want to try the linear option because I may need to boot from a floppy in the future. Specifying disk = /dev/hdb bios = 0x81 did not make the HD bootable. boot.b, vmlinuz, and everything else is properly located in /boot on hdb1 my bios supports a D drive boot, and the LI error says it's geometry or you haven't written a new boot.b and I've tried both. Any input greatly appreciated! Thanks, Steve
