Hi,
If you put lilo in the MBR (someone correct me if I'm wrong) I don't
think you need to make the root partition bootable using fdisk as LILO
runs from the MBR before even the partitions get looked at.
It depends on the computer
If say your root drive is sda1 which is RAIDed to sdb1 then all you
need to do is change the boot= root= lines once.
boot=/dev/sdb
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=linux
root=/dev/sdb1
Hmm So your saying you can't disconnect any drive without LILO stuffing up... bad..
Umm Have you got your BIOS setup to autodetect the HD's?
A very simple way of putting LILO in both drives is to edit your /etc/lilo.conf:
boot=/dev/sda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
