I haven't gotten any traction on my 2 previous posts so perhaps it is
how I asked the question.

RH 7.1
Micron NetFrame LV2000 w/ embedded Adaptec 7800 controller & Adaptec
1000 Raid Array controller. 2 SCSI controllers, hard drives were
supposed to be RAID 1 (on the Adaptec 1000 Raid Array controller) but
both showed on install so I made software raid figuring I could fix
later. I thought this odd since I previously had the RAID working on
WinNT 4.

Post install will not boot from hard drive - screen says something like
- unable to load OS

Boots from floppy - I want to end that. I need to end that. In the
meantime, I need to make a copy of this bootable floppy to protect
myself if something should happen to this disk - how do I make a
complete copy of this disk?

contents of /etc/lilo.conf

I have tried replacing linear with lba32 and re-running lilo -v but it
still won't boot from hard drive.

If you want the output of
lspci or dmesg
see my earlier posts with Subject - Micron Netframe LV2000 (2 and 4 days
ago)

The calm narration of this message belies my real desparation to fix
this.

Thanks

Craig
