Hi,

I have a system with 3 harddrives in it (hda = Windows, hdb = spare (part XFS, 
part FAT32) and hdc = Linux (resierfs).
I installed Windows first, followed by 9.0 on hdc, and chose to install lilo 
to hda's boot sector.
This has been working just fine since I installed.
I've come to a point where I'm moving hdb out of the system...
Whenever I remove it, I get the ubiquitos LI LI LI LI LI across the screen, 
indicating that lilo is toast. Putting the drive back makes everything work 
as before.

2 questions:

1) Should lilo really be doing this, bearing in mind that hdb isnt mentioned 
in lilo.conf (It has an old 8.2 install I havent removed yet on it, but I'd 
have to make a boot disk to boot from it).

2) If I re-reun lilo (from a rescue cd and chrooting stuff) without changing 
lilo.conf, will that fix the LI LI LI issue?

Cheers,

Mark.
