I installed Mandrake 7.2beta rc onto a system with 3 disks:
        /dev/hda
        /dev/hdb
        /dev/sda

I installed onto /dev/hdb1.
That is, during the install, I used diskdrak, specifying this mount point:
        /dev/hdb1 mounted on /
(Before I did this, diskdrak showed that the mountpoint for /dev/hda1 was /.
But I already had an OS installed on /dev/hda1, and didn't want to clobber
/dev/hda1, so I changed this so that /dev/hda1 would be mounted on something
else, i.e. /hda1.)

The install went OK.

But after the install, when I rebooted the system, the LILO prompt stopped
at "LI." I had to boot into /dev/hdb1 by using the boot floppy I made.

To fix the problem, I had to change /etc/lilo.conf, and add these 2 lines:

  disk=/dev/hdb
  bios=0x80

Shouldn't the install have done this for me?
