Hi to * ! ( First of all, sorry for my english :) IMHO LILO can be installed on secondary disks ( and on the first sector of a bootable partition also ). Let me explain myself: I have 2 HDD at home, one ( /dev/hda ) with M$ Win 95 & WinNT 'PlayStation' ( Job reasons :o( ) and the other ( /dev/hdc ) with Debian "Hamm" ( 'So old' I know ;oD I'm try to upgrade but... unfortunately 'time is no friend of mine' :( ). I use (Commercial SW) V Communications' System Commander ( http://www.v-com.com/ ) to boot my machine with Linux and (gasp!) with M$ Win XX, and it works fine for me! LILO was installed on MBR of the secondary disk ( /dev/hdc ), it shows an alert 'LILO is not installed on primary disk' or something like that... but it runs ;) Try to add these lines ( don't remember exactly, I'm at the office right now ) to your /etc/lilo.conf: ... ... boot=/dev/hdc # my 2nd HDD ... ... image=/boot/vmlinuz label=linux root=/dev/hdc1 # or whatever your partition is ;o) read-only I'm no Linux guru, so please correct me if I've misunderstood you or I'm wrong with anything.
