Did that - thanks anyway. I do get a warning though:
Warning: /dev/hde6 is not on the first disk
This much I know - I have two HDs - one on the ATA/100 controller (30Gig)
and the other on the onboard ATA/66 controller (20gig)
The main boot drive is the ATA/100 (where BootMagic and Win98/Win2K and
Linux are installed) - the other drive is not partitioned yet and is not
used at present - but the BootMagic comes up after bootup and the other OSs
boot fine, just when I choose the Linux boot I get LI from Lilo.
Thx,
Robert Fox
