You most likely will have to do some hardware shuffling. From your message, I gather that you have a CDRom Drive as /dev/hdb. Most OS'es prefer hard drives to be sequential on an IDE bus (DOS: C,D,E; LINUX: hda,hdb,hdc) with any CDRom drives afterward. I suggest that you map your second hard drive as /dev/hdb and put the CDRom drive as /dev/hdc. SCSI bus based stuff is a different ballgame. When you install Win95/DOS, it should ignore the first drive and be happy with the second drive. Worse case, temporarily disable the first drive and make the second drive look like the only drive in the system. Install WIn95/DOS and then put the hard drives as you want them and use LILO to manage the boot up. -- -= Sent by Debian 1.3 Linux =- Thomas Kocourek KD4CIK - member of ARRL @[EMAIL PROTECTED]@westgac3.dragon.com Remove @_@ for correct Email address --... ...-- ... -.. . -.- -.. ....- -.-. .. -.- -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
