You can force lilo to put a bootstrap on the second disk as if it was the first disk but it is messy and error prone. An easier and safer way is to copy the kernel to a floppy (dd if=/vmlinuz.lem of=/dev/fd0), set the boot partition on that floppy to what the name will be after the disk is moved (rdev /dev/fd0 /dev/hda1), move the disk, boot from the floppy then update lilo once you are booted. -- To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the command "unsubscribe linux-embedded" in the message body.
