If the ENTIRE second drive is RedHat, then no, you don't need a /boot. You
only need a /boot if the kernel will be above 1024 cylinders. Since it will
be near the beginning of the second drive, you don't need it.

Subject: [techtalk] RE: Harddrive problems with Lilo
Okay, things are a little updated since my original question. Here's what my
system looks like now, hard drive wise:
SCSI device 0: 9.1 GB
SCSI device 1: 18.1 GB
What I want to end up with:
SCSI device 0:
C: 2 GB FAT w/ NT on
D: 6 GB FAT partition for NT
/boot 64 MB Linux native w/ RH6.2
SCSI device 1:
[ The rest of the RH6.2 filesystems... no NT! ]
I beleive this is doable, at least in principle. I'm giving it a go right
now as a matter of fact, but if I'm going to need the newer "smarter" LILO
that allows /boot to live past cylinder 1024, please someone let me know!
TIA,

If the RedHat install is the only thing on scd1, you don't need a boot
partition. The real need of a boot partition is where the kernel is saved
on a spot that's above 1024 cylinders on the drive. With modern bioses this
usually means above 8GB. If it's below 8GB you don't need a /boot
partition. I don't use one.
