I haven't tried passing any arguments to LILO (yet); I may have to try that when I get home from work. But as far as which drive is where: hda -- 1.2GB HD hdb -- nothing hdc -- 24X CDROM hdd -- ZIP 100 I have played around w/ every conceivable variation, and fiddled w/ the bios as well. This is the only 'pattern' that boots w/i 2-3 hours ;) Thanks, Monte
