Booting to offboard controler using LILO
This is my first post to any Debian list, so I hope I have selected the
correct list...
My stuff:
System: Abit BP6 w/ dual Celeron 300s.
HD: WD 8.4 ata66
CDROM: generic
Kernel: 2.2.x w/ IDE patch
or 2.4.0-test1
Dist: Potato
Debian user since 1997.
What I can do:
I can set up a floppy to boot the kernel and mount the offboard HD as
root. I can set the HD (and have had it this way for some time) to boot
form the regular IDE port.
What I can't do:
I can not get the right combination of Lilo config and BIOS setup to
boot my HD from the onboard HPT366 controller!
I get the following with every thing I try:
LI
Is lilo unable to boot off of the ATA66 controler?
If not, how should I set up LILO to boot from the offboard controller?
What about BIOS and Kernel options?
Thank You,
Scott Bailey
