I got an old bios as well.
I didnt initiate LILO when I was installing Deb., did it afterwards. My /
is located on the Primary IDE slave drive, and boots with no problem.
Just do fdisk/cfdisk for both drives and email the partition table to me,
I'll write a lilo.conf that you can use to boot.

Here is the info from fdisk:

Partition       Status         Type          Mbytes        System          Usage
C:    1              A          Pri Dos         748              fat32              92%     [Win98]
        2                          Ext Dos         66                                       8%     [Linux swap]

D:    1                           Pri Dos        2,000            fat32              33%     [win/dos files]
        2              A          Non Dos     102                                       2%     [Linux root]
        3                           Ext Dos       4048                                   66%     [Linux whatever else]
Thanks.
How does one get the system to use Lilo?
