[LILO] how to boot a second IDE HD?



Hi:

  Currently, I'm running linux well on my first
IDE HD, but the problem comes when I try to use
lilo booting the second IDE HD. Please give me
some advices. Thanks :) Oh, by teh way, the first
IDE HD (/dev/hda) is the master drive on first
IDE controller. The second IDE HD (/dev/hdd) is
the slave drive on second IDE controller.

  I've tried to modify /etc/lilo.conf to boot
the DOS on /dev/hdd3, but it fails. The error
message appearing at the booting time is the
following:


    boot: DOS
    LOADING DOS
    ERROR: 0x01
    LOADING Linux


   The following is my /etc/lilo.conf  :

      boot=/dev/hda1
      install=/boot/boot.b
      map=/boot/map
      linear
      prompt
      timeout=100

      image=/vmlinuz
         label=Linux
         root=/dev/hda1
         read-only
         vga=normal

      other=/dev/hdd3
         loader=/boot/chain.b
         label=DOS
         table=/dev/hdd



   The following is my partition table of the
second IDE HD:

  /dev/hdd1            1     1088   514048+  83  Linux native
  /dev/hdd2         1089     1229    66622+  82  Linux swap
  /dev/hdd3   *     1025     4050  1429785    e  Win95 FAT16 (LBA)
  /dev/hdd4         4051    10602  3095820    f  Win95 Extended (LBA)
  /dev/hdd5         4051     6239  1034271    c  Win95 FAT32 (LBA)
  /dev/hdd6         6240     8428  1034271    c  Win95 FAT32 (LBA)
  /dev/hdd7         8429    10600  1026238+  83  Linux native



Thanks so much for help :)


Jack
