YESSIR!!! I replied to the question asked... U can boot off anywhere from your HDD as long as U have LILO on your MBR... thats what I meant... I gave the second HDD situation as an EXAMPLE. and in the EXAMPLE I meant - U can boot off your second HDD even on machines which do not have a BIOS that supports it... This is because the BIOS is not in control of the booting process AFTER LILO gets control... clear???
