Thanks for the help everyone. I ended up getting the answer from the LILO developer. His answer is below. The problem stems from the fact that the version of LILO in stable can't handle the bios booting from a disk other than the first one, without telling lilo what the bios boot order is. In my system the first HD according to the bios is /dev/hda then /dev/hdb and then /dev/sda. The bios re-arranges them for booting purposes and lilo needs to know the order they are for booting which in my case is /dev/sda then /dev/hda and then /dev/hdb.
---------------- Thanks Jefferson Cowart [EMAIL PROTECTED] Original Message =========================== Your installation log indicates a warning about "bios drive 0x82 may not be accessible". With lilo installed on /dev/sda (0x82), how do you ever get to the boot sector of the SCSI drive. The bios boots from drive 0x80. If you have a choice from your BIOS of booting from /dev/hda or /dev/sda, then you should install LILO in the environment in which you will boot; namely, with /dev/sda installed as drive 0x80, which it is at boot time. disk=/dev/sda bios=0x80 disk=/dev/hda bios=0x8? # fill in the blank --John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
