(Answer) (Category) NetMAXFAQ : (Category) Configuration :
I'm having problems installing LILO from SCSI, help!
Applies to: NetMAX Linux version 2.0 - 4.01
address-suppressed
Problem: Put an IDE and a SCSI disk in a PC. Tell the BIOS to boot off of the SCSI disk. Install NetMAX/Linux. Reboot. LILO complains that it can't boot Linux.

Now, try reinstalling LILO (or NetMAX/Linux) without the IDE disk. Works just fine!

Once you have LILO installed correctly on the SCSI disk, you can reattach the IDE disk and LILO will continue to work OK.

If you have a SCSI and an IDE drive, and tell the BIOS to boot SCSI first, LILO will have a problem when installing NetMAX/Linux. It won't install correctly. It will try to install on the SCSI disk (i.e. it leaves the IDE disk alone, as it should), but the install fails. You have to deattach the IDE disk in order to get LILO to install on the SCSI disk.
