Thats the point, if he "moves" /dev/hda to /dev/hdc then he "wont" have lilo on his MBR, or at least not under normal curcumstancies. One can place lilo where he/she wants via /etc/lilo.conf, leave disks where they are and use the mobo's boot option to choose which ever disk to boot from, if of course one has a recent motherboard and a BIOS which supports booting from all devices, that option has been around for a few years now so chances are there is no real need to move devices around anyway. > root=/dev/hda(something - your root partiton) > for it to boot thru instaed of all the fuss with boot disks and rescue > cds . > then edit fstab and lilo.conf > > Joy -- If the Linux community is a bunch of theives because they try to imitate windows programs, then the Windows community is built on organized crime.
