Use a boot disk created from the image file on the installed linux H/D.
Or even the one you were "advised" to make at install time but possably
did not.
Make sure you use the program 'rdev' to set the root device, the drive
and partition where you have the linux "/" (root) situated.
An example would be;
rdev /dev/fd0 /dev/hda2 sets ROOT to /dev/hda2
The second partition on the master
drive.
rdev /dev/fd0 /dev/hdb1 sets ROOT to /dev/hdb1
The first partition on the slave
drive.
'man rdev'
or
rdev -h
for more details.
Of course you could read the howtos situated in /usr/doc/*
Linux+DOS+Win95
Linux+Win95
Loadlin+Win95
and then you could decide for yourself what is best in your situation.
To create a bootdisk from the image on your H/D you have the choise;
dd if=/vmlinuz of=/dev/fd0
cp /vmlinuz /dev/fd0
I explained "rdev" in detail because you mentioned that you keep changing
drives around to be able to boot.
