It may help if you post the exact error that LILO gave you, along with the
contents of your /etc/lilo.conf.

I don't think that you have to reformate the drive. Has the disk been the
primary one before? It should also be enough to boot from floppy and edit the
/etc/lilo.conf manually to boot from /dev/hdbx.
Much luck!

well, so Linux allocates the drive designation /dev/hdbx based on it's
read of the IDE channel. So, Ineed to change the placement of the drive
on the cable? So, if I correct this, then do I need to re-format/re-write
the partition table to get the drive re-asigned to /dev/hdax?
Thanks, Michael
Hi!
It means that /dev/hda1 would be on the first disk.
/dev/hda is the primary channel of the first ide string (Or whatever it is
called in English).
/dev/hdb is the secondary channel of the first ide string.
I don't use klilo anymore, it destroyed my lilo too...

Trying to get my system to boot from the hard drive not the floppy. When
I run lilo and klilo, I get the error message:
"Warning: /dev/hdb1 is not on the first disk"
That does this mean exactly?
Thanks, Michael
