Thanks for the response. My BIOS is set to (and does) boot SCSI drives
first. It loads System Commander, from which I choose Win98, Linux,
etc. Lilo is installed in the superblock of /dev/sda3.
Might it help if I told the BIOS to not probe for IDE disks at all?
This drive is only used for storage; I don't need to boot from it at
all. If I did that, would Linux see the drive at all? Worth trying, I
suppose...
