Sup everyone!

So far, I have tryed to installed Gentoo on a 2nd hdd
i have 2 times. Needless to say, its on /dev/hdb. Ok
well i the /boot in /dev/hdb1. When i setup lilo, it-
said something about there being problems cause its
the 2nd hard drive. Then i noticed that my bios gives
me a choice at boot up to... boot... into either hard
drive.


If i choose the first one, win xp comes up fine.
choose the 2nd one... and for some reason grub comes
up at the command line. no choice to boot into gentoo
or nothing. all i can do is reboot. And i dont
remember "emerge grub" happening.

Looks like your second hard drive has grub in it's Master Boot Record, (probably from a previous linux install?). This is most likely happening because you aren't installing lilo to that drives MBR, but only to a partition.


Can you post your lilo.conf ?

Make a long story short. Is it possible to do what Im
trying to do b4 i got at it for a 3rd time from stage
1? thanks for your time. really appreciate it.

It definitely is possible :)
