RE: lilo problem

The boot should be /dev/sda. The LI is a symptom of a geometry mismatch that adding linear to lilo.conf usually fixes. The message about the disk not being the first disk is just a warning as some BIOSes don't provide support for booting from other than the first disk. Tony On Friday, October
