OK, here it is: I have 2 SCSI disks, with Windows NT on the first and Linux on the second. Windows NT is booting Ok (hopefully, I didn't retry for a while now but I don't see why it shouldn't). I usually boot Linux from floppy which is also OK. Now using the SCSI utility I set my boot disk ID to 1, then it apprently tries to boot from the second disk but it hangs after outputting LI. I added "disk" options in lilo.conf and tried to change boot and/or root to /dev/sdb* instead of /dev/sda*, but nothing seems to work. By the way /vmlinuz exists (it was symbolic link to the kernel in /boot, then I replaced it with a copy of the same image). Is this clear enough? Thanks for your help.
