at lilo: linux root=/dev/sdb1
if sda just moved to sdb. you need to boot anyway, and once you made it
to the prompt, you change lilo.conf (sorry, left that out in my
extensive list...). if you know about the swap, you can even install a
new MBR with lilo before you take it down, add the hardware, and off
you go.

but linux handles it so much more gracefully if you have a capable
admin.
curious: can you have 27 SCSI disks? what's the 27th called?
