Well, I just reinstalled everything and recompiled the kernel as before.
The only thing I did differently was to shutdown, and to *remove* the IDE
drive before compiling and running /sbin/lilo. This time I didn't get the
warning regarding sda not being the first disk.
It seems that when an IDE drive is connected, even though not mounted Linux
forces it to be the first disk. I guess this is why they say not to mix
SCSI and IDE. It doesn't seem like it would be a problem if you wanted the
IDE to be the first disk. By the way, the root partition (sda1) is only 100
cylinders, so this had nothing to do with the problem.
