Yes, he's right. In my own case I have a Western Digital /66 drive alone
on the first controller so it will work in /66 mode [which it does without
modification on the 2.2.14 kernel of Mandrake 7.0]. Windows98 and
Linux-Mandrake share this drive (hda). The secondary motherboard IDE
controller has a second hard drive (as master it is hdc) and a CD ROM as
slave. These two were put together because they operate at the same bus
speed; I have Caldera and Stormix on hdc and boot to them from floppy.
Since they are different flavors of Linux, they seem to have different
startup requirements (mappings, etc.), and I haven't figured out how to boot
them from a unified LILO yet.

does IDE drives is by chain. So the master and seconday drives on the
primary controller are identified as hda hdb while he master and
secondary drives on the second controler are hdc and hdd. Again
Ithas beena while since I payed attention to that. :)
To install just run setup from within win98 and it will do the rest.
You'll just put the linux partitions on the new secondary drive and
then use LILO or Grub to boot win98 or Linux.
