It sounds like your BIOS can't "see" the 2nd SCSI drive
|
|
-- so Lilo can't "see" it either. The easiest solution
|
|
would be to install <TT>LOADLIN</TT> into a DOS/Win '96 directory
|
|
--- with a copy of your kernel(s). The kernel doesn't
|
|
rely on the BIOS to access your drives (since it provide
|
|
32 bit native drivers for your SCSI card --- etc) so it
|
|
will find its root filesystem with no problem.
|
|
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
Another think to try is to add the "linear" switch to
|
|
your <TT>/etc/lilo.conf</TT> --- and then rebuild the boot block
|
|
and boot map using the <TT>/sbin/lilo</TT> command. Read the
|
|
lilo man pages and/or look at the lilo "user" and "tech"
|
|
<TT>.dvi</TT> files using xdvi (under X Windows) for details.
|
|
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
There may be other settings that you'll have to tweak to
|
|
get it working. This is particularly true if you have a
|
|
large SCSI drive (my guess is that your second drive is
|
|
bigger than 2 Gb -- and your first one isn't). Look in
|
|
the CMOS/Setup settings (or whatever your SCSI card
|
|
provides) for things that suggest that it is doing something
|
|
"fun" to make the large drive "DOS compatible").
|
