Ok here goes:

I have an IBM 30Gig ATA./100 drive on an Asus A7V MB - below is my 
partition file from the system.

Problem #1:  During install I passed the ide parms for the ATA/100 drive 
and all installed well.  I installed the lilo bootloader on /dev/hde6 
(root) partition and edited the lilo.conf with the necessary append 
info.  I am using BootMagic 2.0 to boot the system, but I only get LI 
during start, so I have to use the bootdisk and pass the ide parms EVERY 
boot up . . . I don't care so much about booting from the bootdisk, but I 
hate having to type the ide parms everytime I want to boot LM 
7.2!!!!!  Ideally I would like to boot from the HD using BootMagic and NOT 
have to type the ide parms everytime.

Problem #2:  When I boot from the floppy, I tried to add the ide parms in 
the append line, but it is ignored during boot unless I manually type them 
in . . . and I can't get Aurora to start when I boot from the floppy either 
(with vga=788 added on the lilo.conf on the floppy)

Any help would be gratefully appreciated!!

Thanks up front!
