Boot into debian with boot disk, and make a lilo.conf file to run with
lilo.
Or just send the cfdisk information (partitions for all disks), and I can
write it for you.
And LILO will work with second drive.
I've got Win98 set up on my first physical drive (about 760 megs) and
Linux swap drive as the second logical drive (60 megs) on it also. On
the second phyical drive (6.1 gig) I've got the first partition as fat32
(2 gig), then Linux boot (about 100meg), and Linux everything else takes
up the rest.
