To change a Linux partition to operate at another IDE address, you
will need another working Linux partition or a floppy-based Linux
like tomsrtbt.
Run that linux, mount the partition to be altered and edit its
/etc/fstab to the new device assignments using the chroot command and
the command line text editor of your choice (pico, joe, emacs, etc.):
chroot /mnt/hd pico /etc/fstab
Likewise alter the /etc/lilo.conf to the new device assignments:
chroot /mnt/hd pico /etc/lilo.conf
Then run the target partition's lilo:
chroot /mnt/hd lilo
The target Linux partition will now be bootable and will run in its
new partition.
