LILO booting off second IDE disk 1103

BIOS simple cannot access parbreastions, so no matter what is on parbreastion it is out of bonds for it.
Not needed for Linux.
You are the boss (root), what is the problem?
'Allo, 'Allo this is MBR calling!
So which MBR receives BIOS call and starts some OS activity?
No, but for curiosity I installed DOSes (MS and DR) both with Win3.11, Win98SE (English, Greek and Hebrew) variants, Win2k, Slackware and Mandrake on two hard drives, all booting from LILO with hiding and unhiding parbreastions and activating them by menu choices selections. Slackware was THE native distro taking control of LILO configuration and installation in MBR. The "guest" distro had its LILO installed on parbreastion so when called from native LILO it responded by booting "guest" kernel (it had zero waiting time and no menu display). What I would suggest is: install LILO in normal way in MBR of master drive, configure it to boot systems on your box. When everything is working properly start changing lilo.conf one step at a time, while saving previous lilo.conf to brad.conf so you can restore working configuration (make a booting diskette to your distro!)
Have fun
