| First, before doing anything with lilo, make a bootable disk (if you haven't
| yet) with mkboot. So you can boot even if something goes wrong.

| /dev/hda	master on 1st IDE connection
| /dev/hdb	slave  on 1st --
| /dev/hdc	master on 2nd --
| /dev/hdd	slave  on 2nd --

| Doesn't matter either. Many who write on this list aren't native speakers.
