Speaking of LILO. This might be fairly old news ... But I boot
Via a SCSI drive and added a spare IDE drive to the system recently.
Now I find I have to unmount all the ide mount points &&
"alias ide-disk off" in the /etc/conf.modules && modprobe -r ide-disk
then run lilo else Lilo complains about the SCSI Not beeing the first
device in the boot order. Now .. unfortunately I understand this is how
life used to be .. but I also know that I have never cared nor has
the kernel ever cared that I don't select the IDE Device geometries
in the BIOS and allow the SCSI to boot the system and then let Linux
find the IDE devices. Anyone know a simple way around this problem?
