[LUG] lilo.conf problems

[Jonathan Melhuish <jon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Something obviously needs to be done about this, as I have had similar 
problems and so have both my two linux recruits; you change the location of 
the boot disk and the whole thing falls to peices :-(

Anyway, we are trying to swap the drives that are currently on the primary IDE 
channel (DVD, CD-RW) with those on the secondary channel (both hard drives), 
in an effort to get the CD burner working under linux, such that it looks 
like this:

Primary IDE master: Linux boot disk
Primary IDE slave: Windows disk
Secondary IDE master: CD-RW
Secondary IDE slave: DVD-ROM

So would somebody point out to me what I've forgotten in lilo.conf, because 
I'm obviously going blind (or braindead)!

Which works fine... with the hard disk on the secondary master (hdc)!

Wierd... what are we doing wrong?

Cheers,
