A quick follow-up to my own query, with a bit more info. I wrote:

The partition info for my drives is as follows ...
Master drive: Slave drive:
/dev/hda1 ext2 40 MB /dev/hdb1 ext2 (root) 1800 MB
/dev/hda2 ext2 300 MB /dev/hdb2 ext2 350 MB
/dev/hdb3 Linux swap 50 MB
Again, Linux is installed on /dev/hdb, and /dev/hda1, /dev/hda2 and
/dev/hdb2 are mounted at various points. So far, I've tried copying the
boot directory to /dev/hda, but when I specify root=/dev/hdb in
lilo.conf, LILO gives me a warning: "hdb not on first drive." It also
seems to be writing the boot sector to hdb instead of hda, and nothing
I do seems to change this. Thanks for any thoughts you might have.
