I have the same problem with my new setup; I installed scsi a disk and I
already have an ide disk, and have dos on the scsi disk while linux
resides on the ide; when I tell lilo (from redhat 4.1) to boot the
system from the mbr of /dev/hda, and have dos as the second os, it says
"Must specify LOADER for BIOS device 0x81" What does that mean, if
anyone has an idea?
