swapping hard disks



I just got Debian installed (potatoe), and due to the way I had to get
the old machine up and gonig to install from CD rom, the hard disk on
which I installed is connected to the second IDE master, not the
primary.  The installation routine located it as /dev/hdc1.

How can I modify my configuration so I can physically disconnect this
disk and connect it to the primary IDE channel, and make it bootable.
I'm booting from floppy right now.  When I tried to make the disk
bootable during install, I got some error "incorrect geometry" or
something like that, I could load LILO on either hard disk for some
reason.

Any help is appreciated, I've got on old Pentium 100, 72 Mb RAM, windoze
disk is 800 Mb, Linux disk is 1 Gb.
