Hi,

I have a Soyo 5EHM motherboard (Super 7) with a builtin IDE controller and
an add-n Adaptec AHA2940W card (w/ a harddisk on each). I wish to boot
from the SCSI controller and the BIOS supports the ff. boot sequence
(among others): A,C,SCSI or SCSI,A,C. 

My problem is that whenever I try to install LILO, it gives out a warning
stating that the device is not the first drive on its logical chain. What
I do to get it to work is to temporarilly remove the IDE harddisk, install
LILO and then re-attach the harddisk.

Is there a way to configure LILO so that I won't have to remove the IDE
harddisk?
