 preinstalled Linux on primary/slave drive Hi, I have a disk drive with Linux and Windows2000 installed. No problem. Everything was installed when the drive was primary/master (the only one). Now I need to put this drive into another computer as primary/slave. I use Lilo and boot from a diskette. Booting fails. As far as I understand a can use map-drive in lilo.conf only for a "foreign operating system" which is Windows. Is there any chance to make Linux boot and work without re-installation? It is so flexible! Thank you, Andrei Somov      |

Boot from the floppy and specify the new 'root' partition, if your disk was primary master it was /dev/hda, if now it is primary slave is /dev/hdb, if it is secondary master is /dev/hdc and so on, so, if before the root partition was /dev/hda1, now it's /dev/hd?1. You have to specify the root partition. Otherwise, get a CD-live-eval distribution like knoppix, boot from it, mount your 'new' root partition and change the /etc/fstab, then correct and re-install lilo.
