I believe you set the LS120 to be the boot device in your
BIOS. Then you have to make the LS-120 whatever device
it is in the IDE chain. If it is connected as slave on
the primary interface, it will be hdb. Then you write
LILO to it, since you want it to boot. There may be
other issues, but the main one is to set it to be the
boot device in the BIOS. If your BIOS has no support
for LS-120 as a boot disk, then you have to get a
circuit card that will tell the bios that you have
an LS-120 boot device. Those generally do not come
with the LS-120. Else, you are out of luck and you
treat the LS-120 as merely a removable hard drive device.
