> boot=/dev/hda1 This line tells LILO to install itself to the bootsector of the first harddisk partition. In order for LILO to actually run, the MBR software must boot this partition (i.e., the active flag must be set to it). Alternatively, you may choose to install LILO to the MBR:
boot=/dev/hda > root=/dev/hdc1 > The error message I am getting from liloconfig: > Warning: BIOS drive 0x82 may not be accessible > ^^^^ The 0x82 is the BIOS drive number, and has nothing to do with the partition type. As most older PC BIOSes only support two harddisks, LILO is trying to warn you here that you may not be able to access this disk at boot time. If you are sure you can, you can safely ignore this message. BTW, are you certain it is /dev/hdc, not /dev/hdb?
