lilo

"remember your computer must have a common first drive to dual boot"
I do realize that and then the question went on as to how to write
lilo.conf so that this can be accomplished. Are you saying, that in a
dual boot scenario with scsi and ide, that lilo has to be on the ide? I
found with the disk=/dev/sda bios=0x80 statement that I can tell the
system that the scsi drive is first but then I have trouble booting to
the actual ide drive (which has window$ on it)
