IDE master to slave conversion

2002-09-22 Thread Neal Pollock
I'm changing the position of my IDE drives and subsequently need to set my debian disk as a slave. What configuration files do i need to edit to ensure a clean boot with all services running properly?  ie. root=/dev/hda6 becomes root=/dev/hdb6 in lilo.conf.   cheers.
