I have a machine with a RAID card that I haven't been able to make work, so I've been booting from a floppy. This seems like a bad thing since sometimes the floppy wears out. Recently, I was given a SCSI drive and installed it, and I was thinking about starting to boot from the SCSI drive. I'm pretty much a novice with LILO (and have never used GRUB), so I'm a little stumped about how to do this. In particular, two questions: 1. Is there a good way to experiment with this? Right now I have a floppy boot disk. It then boots from hde1 (first partition on the first of the RAID drives). For that purpose, I believe I want to have a /boot mounted from /hde1. But now if I want to put LILO on /dev/sda1, don't I have to mount /boot from there? Is there a convenient way to have /boot come from one place or another depending on how you boot? Or is it possible for me to boot from /dev/sda1 while having /boot on /dev/hde1? I realize that this is probably a stupid question, but it seems so stupid that none of the people who write the FMs explain it clearly. 2. [somewhat OT:] I have a TYAN Tiger MPX motherboard and, as far as I understand the BIOS screens and docs, it seems like it SHOULD be able to boot from the PCI SCSI controller. But I haven't been able to convince it to do so. Anyone tried to do this with any luck? Many thanks, R
