Nope, only run lilo once. Okay, I hadn't understood all of what's going on. I'm not all that clueful about using lilo to set one drive's mbr up to boot a partition on another drive, so I don't think I can be much help here =/ -- monique Unless you need to share ultra-sensitive super-spy stuff with me, please don't email me directly.
