Oooops, wrong machine, sorry. Now, my REAL machine is set up thusly, linux
root on scsi, windows on ide, other linux partitions no ide, and my REAL
lilo.conf looks like this:
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
image=/boot/vmlinuz.2.0
label=linux
root=/dev/sdb1
append="mem=128M, aic7xxx=verbose,tag_info:{16,16,16,16,16,16,16}"
vga=normal
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz.2.1
label=linux2
root=/dev/sdb1
append="aic7xxx=verbose,tag_info:{16,16,16,16,16,16,16}"
vga=normal
read-only
image=/vmlinuz
label=linuxtest
root=/dev/sdb1
append="mem=128M, aic7xxx=verbose,tag_info:{16,16,16,16,16,16,16}"
vga=normal
read-only
other=/dev/hda1
label=win
table=/dev/hda
Sorry for the confusion...
