Hello, there!
I used to have my linux hard drive in as slave at the second IDE controller:
/dev/hdd
And the root partition was in /dev/hdd2
Now, I put the linux hard disk as slave at the first IDE controller... I guess it would be /dev/hdb and the root partition at /dev/hdb2
The problem is I have no LILO at the MBR of the Win98SE hard disk (/dev/hda1), I am using a boot diskette created at set up process and LILO in the diskette always looks for the root partition at /dev/hdd2.
I've tried to pass LILO some commands when it shows me the "boot:" prompt (withouth quotes)
root=/dev/hdb2
root=hdb2
"root=/dev/hdb2"
"root=hdb2"
append root=/dev/hdb2
etcetera... without success... :-(
Lilo (always from the diskette) says
"I cannot find image at root=hdb.2" and so on...
Which is the correct command line?

Thanks a lot. Arlequín
