When I tried to dual boot on my old machine, I had the linux HD on the
secondary chain, and LILO protested quite vociferously. Note that even if
for some reason you have to make the Linux drive a secondary drive, you
can use loadlin to boot.
Just looked in the Red Hat 5.2 installation manual, and the two things you
have to look out for is that:
1. /boot has to be installed below the 1024th cylinder of the drive; and
2. /boot must be on one of the first two IDE drives.
For #2, I take it to basically mean that /boot must be on a primary drive.
(I have no idea what would happen if somebody had one hard drive and
nothing else on the primary chain, and a second hard drive on the
secondary.)
