Hi Russell! I have three VIA KT-based Duron servers. One of them has an Adaptec 29160 card wirh an external IDE-to-SCSI (that means the three 40 GB drives are IDE, but it behaves as if it were a 80 GB (Raid 5) SCSI harddisk) RAID attached to it and two internal IDE drives (each 20 GB).
When we first installed Debian (2.2r0), we did this into a /boot and a / partition on the SCSI drive, while the two internal drives were attached (each as master on ide 0 and 1). First, it wouldn´t boot, but the lilo.conf manualpage and an old SUSE handbook told us, that we had to remap the drives. Here is what we entered into lilo.conf: disk = /dev/sda bios = 0x80 disk = /dev/hda bios = 0x81 disk = /dev/hdc bios = 0x82 Boot device (boot = ) was /dev/sda1. Worked like a breeze, but we now boot from software raid 1 devices on the two ide disks (boot=/dev/md1, root = /dev/md2). Even this works with lilo, but only for raid 1.
