But why don't you use the bios keyword? From lilo.conf(5):

would say that your SCSI disk is the first BIOS disk, and your (primary master) IDE disk is the second BIOS disk. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
