I would like to move my linux installation to my second hdd. Can LILO boot linux from the second hdd. Do i have to do some tweaking.
AFAIK, LILO can boot Linux from any HDD, as long as it is within the first 1024 cylinders. All you need to specify is the location of the root partition. For this edit /etc/lilo.conf to change the device name of the root partition, then run the command `lilo' in superuser mode.
LILO boots Linux from /dev/hdc3 on my box. That's the secondary master IDE drive.
