LILO = Nppt - How to boot hdb?

:  I have the following layout. Its a 260 meg Seagate in HDA for linux and
:  a 80 meg maxtor in hdb that has Dos and Windows. How do I use LILO to
:  boot the Dos drive? I get a Drive Not Ready error. Is there a Lilo
:  manual online? I didnt see one at Sunsite.

I don't think you can do this.  I think DOS has to be on the first hard
drive.

Can you mount the DOS partition from linux? (mount -t msdos /dev/hdb1
/mnt)  This would tell you whether the disks are jumpered correctly.

1. MBR on HDB? LILO booting from HDB?

RedHat 6.1
        I disconnected my hda (win 95) drive and connected hdb (linux) drive to
primary slave.........I installed linux to that drive and told it to install
LILO on the MBR of hdb.  (In bios i can choose what disk to boot) when i try to
boot from primary slave.........all I get is a bunch of 0101010101010101
scrolling thru my entire screen.  I went into linux.conf (via boot
disk........why do these always work? can't my HD work? ugh.) and changed the
following
 disk=/dev/hda
       bios=0x81
  disk=/dev/hdb
        bios=0x80
hoping to make lilo boot from Primary slave.............I've tried just about
everything..............there's gotta be a way to make LILO boot from primary
slave.....when i install LILO to first sector of hdb lilo loads....and that's
about it..I get a message error 0x01.
Now i'm willing to reinstall LINUX/LILO......but I *need* it to be able to be
booted from hdb (primary slave) and hda leave as it is, hence no interaction
between the two.....in bios i select what HD to boot from A,CDROM,C (prim.
mast.),D (prim slave) and so on.     I've read most everything....can't find
the solution...so anyone know what is going on?.
