Basically, it looks like you need to make a pair of lilo.conf files. The boot= line should point to either of /dev/hda or /dev/hdc, respectively. Well, nevermind my blathering on, just read the mini-howto. It's a little out of date, but I think still relevant. -- Ron Peterson -o) 87 Taylor Street /\\ Granby, MA 01033 _\_v https://www.yellowbank.com/ ----
