I just realized that I never updated the list on this project. I did as Karl suggested, except skipped the --simulate step (got impatient). Everything worked absolutely flawlessly, except my attempt to write LILO to the new drive without a floppy boot. I tried changing /etc/lilo.conf to write to

Thanks to all for the comments. I had assumed that /dev/hd* simply started at a and incremented by 1, but am happy to know the two IDE channels are separate. Karl, thanks for the cautious tips -- I'll pay attention to them :). Note that / and /boot are on hdb, not hda, so there's literally nothing
