Hi, I have'nt followed the thread, so it could be that i repeat someones answer. But here it goes anyway: If you want to boot from an scsi-disk in a mixed ide-scsi setup then do the following: 1. set your bios to boot from scsi first 2. tell LILO about this with (lilo.conf) disk=/dev/sda bios=0x80 disk=/dev/hda bios=0x81 boot=/dev/sda 3. rerun LILO You can read the LILO Postscript manual for more info. Good Luck R.Stallknecht
