Aaron,
You only think it should boot from the scsi drive. It's looking for the
drive # it was looking for before, and that's changed with the IDE drive
installed. Bios looks for the first bootable drive and starts there. New
bios may be different, but all used to start counting from the IDE ports
first, and then any detected thereafter. The behavior you describe leads me
to the belief that lilo is in the mbr that bios finds, but that lilo needs
to be rerun (/sbin/lilo) so that its configuration will be correct for the
new order the drives are in. (instead of being 1 and 2 the scsi drives are
probably 2 & 3..... now)
