Note: I have grub2 boot loaders in the MBR's of the two sata hard drives
which I knew as sda and sdb and lilo on the MBR of the ata drive which I
knew as hda. The grub2 installation recommended putting the loader in
all MBR's but problem with linux-base made it impossible to boot with
grub. The lilo boot still worked and the linux-base problem was
resolved when all references to the cdrom and usb drives was removed
from fstab. The 2.6.32-5-amd64 kernel is apparently too large for lilo.
