If you have a secondary IDE interface, put the EIDE drive on that.
However, if you describe this machine as both "old" and "faithful" I
suspect it might not have one.
Alternatively, set the IDE up as primary master and in /etc/lilo.conf
just say:
boot=/dev/hda
and leave everything else unchanged.
The boot sector has to be on BIOS drive 0x80 (i.e. IDE if there is an
IDE drive and non-IDE if not). The rest of it--kernel, root filesystem,
all of it--can all be on drives that aren't the boot drive.
