If the /etc/fstab file the old root device was /dev/hdb1 so the new one would
be /dev/hdc1, in lilo pass the paramet
I was thinking... a different approach... see what do you think:
1- I copy my fstab and lilo.conf to somewhere... to save my current setup that
is:
/dev/hda is a UDMA100 40G HD and master at IDE interface 1 (win98)
/dev/hdb is a UDMA33 4.2G HD and master at IDE interface 1 (linux)
/dev/hdc i

What I did: removed the CD-ROM and changed the HD, so it didn't boot up... Now
I undestood waht you said... I had to put a small HD in the place of the CD-ROM
and don´t make any changes... right?
The drive where I have enough free space for a backup is my

Tom,
before I try this (that sounds easy :-) ), do you really think that a
expert/upgrade install will make all the changes? Since my fstab, lilo.conf
and whatever conf file that may be involved with the boot-up process has
references to the "old" setup, the upgrade install will read these val

Well,
I think that is a good one...
I have a LM8 install in a machine with 2 ide drives (/dev/hda and
/dev/hdb) and a ide cd-rom writer (/dev/hdc).with dual boot for win98
and linux
They work like this now:
/dev/hda is a UDMA100 40G HD and master at IDE interface 1 (win98)
/dev/hdb is a UDMA
