Well so far, I haven't been able to get a response from the list. This is the
seond time that I tried to add another disk to an existing system using SCSI
controllers. The first time out, I had no choice but to re-install everything.
It's just so annoying when the system gets screwed up once the second disk is
added. The second disk becomes drive 1 and the machine just won't boot
properly. I had some luck forcing drive 1 to be deected first, but just the
same, LILO won't install, swap cannot be used, and the only way to boot the
machine is to use a floppy boot disk.

I also had a terrible time with Linux and two Adaptec adapters. I had two
hard disks, and when I added the second, the number of drives reversed
(drive 1 became drive 2), and there seemed nothing I could do about it.
I've concluded that I needed to recompile the kernal to gain support for
the second adapter, and then attach the drive to it, but I've not had th
time to try it.
