anyone here a lilo guru? Still trying to get the secondary loader to work on my scsi disk. For some reason /sbin/lilo puts the 16-sector secondary loader on the IDE disk. Everything else works but that secondary loader is put on the wrong disk. Anything in lilo.conf (or maybe the boot.b?) that would cause that?

In other geeky news, TTT does kick ass, no matter what juxtaposejade says. And what kicks ass about it is that it exists and doesn't suck. The fact that these films were made at all, and happen to be a good movies, makes them incredible things. No mistake about it - I will never claim that TTT is either great cinema or great adaptation.But the books are too perfect as books to make perfect movies, why should we expect it? I think complaining about extraneous shots of women and children, or the occasional mischaracterization (Faramir) is picking nits. Think about it: no major flaws. Jackson didn't get bad actors, ugly sets, bad effects, or major plot holes. The world looks and behaves in a believeable and real manner. It just doesn't suck. It could be better, but so could a great many movies.

Anyway that's enough of that. Bedtime.

Actually lilo is doing that for me, but it's doing it to the wrong drive. When you run /sbin/lilo -v -v -v it tells you what drive it puts each part on. When it does the second stage loader, it maps /dev/hda (the ide drive) instead of /dev/ida/disc0/disc (the scsi drive).
In lilo.conf though,

disc=/dev/ida/disc0/disc
install=/dev/ida/disc0/part2

There's no /dev/ide or /hda or anything I can see in the lilo.conf that would cause it to map /dev/hda. Something I'm missing here?
