Hi all,
I've a LILO question. The lilo docs say that MAYBE ones bios will
allow booting from a drive on the second IDE interface (hdc of hdd).
Apparently, I can as I have been booting Deb 1.3 from hdc.
I have since installed Deb 2.0 to hdd, but when I make an
appropriate entry in /etc/lilo.conf and run lilo, I get the following error:
Warning: BIOS drive 0x82 may not be accessible
And, in fact, I cannot boot the kernel on hdd. My question is therefore, if
I can boot from hdc, should I not be able to boot from hdd ?
If I remember correctly, 0x82 means major number 8, minor #2. This is sda2
on my box. I have no scsi devices. Anyone know what is going on ? Here is
an excerpt from lilo.conf:
------------ begin excerpt --------------
