I was successfully booting of a SCSI drive and after adding an IDE
drive and running /sbin/lilo got the "warning. /dev/sda is not the
first hard disk" or something similar. Adding the following lines to
the global section of my /etc/lilo.conf fixes the problem.
disk=/dev/sda
bios=0x80
disk=/dev/hda
bios=0x81
See the LILO docs.
