John:
Make sure you have the bootable partitions for both drives on the primary
master.
Create a 2 GBytes partition on the drive, and install Win2K.
Boot up from the RH CD-ROM. Using FDisk, create your / partition on /dev/hda2
(/dev/sga2 if scsi).
Set up the remaining paritions on the drive for your data, and leave at least a
2 GBytes partition for your MySQL data directory under Win2k. Use an extra
drive as necessary.
When Linux is installed, allow it to detect the Win2K bootable partition, and
make sure you have one Win2k entry and one Linux entry in your Lilo boot
selection menu. Install the boot-loader to the MBR, and it should work fine.
