I have a Seagate SCSI drive and I'm using an Adaptec
driver and the drive is not being recognized at boot.
(I used the scsinet boot image when I installed linux.)
I read in the HOWTO documentation that I might need to
force detection using a kernel command line option.
However none of the directions seem to make sense.....

When I boot my system I get a prompt,
LILO:
to which I have options to respond with dos or linux.
I tried starting over and booting off my boot disk (floppy) that I made
to see if I could come up with the ":" prompt somehow.
I've gone off the deep end somewhere.
Anyone have any idea how I need to enter my kernel command line options
at boot? What constitues "Boot your system with LILO"?
Can I just add the kernel command line options to the /etc/lilo.conf file?
If so, where?
