Apparently you want to boot from your second hard drive
(the first is 0x80). LILO will normally let you off with a warning
about this, but obviously there's something about your second
drive which needs special handling -- perhaps it's SCSI? Read
the LILO documentation in /usr/doc/lilo; you need to use one
of the other .b loader files in /boot probably.
