1) My bios (and old ones, too) always seem to detect the drive parameters
for an IDE Zip drive incorrectly. I think it's supposed to be
CHS = 96,64,32 and my bios (or linux) always finds it to be
CHS = 32,64,96. I've tried "Lilo: linux hdd=96,64,32 hdd=noprobe", but
that doesn't seem to work.
2) More importantly, how do I make a zip disk bootable? Most modern
bioses seem to support it and I can do it with dos/windows, but I can't
seem to get it working under linux. I created one ext2 partition on
/dev/hdd1 (my zip is /dev/hdd), and used a simple lilo.conf with /dev/hdd
set. I've tried lots of combinations with no success. I'd like to have a
portable linux system on a zip disk.
Thanks,
R.
