SI have a CDROM at id0, and the linux drive at ID2. Is this still cool? Is

Steve,
My own config: ID 1 - drive
ID 4 -drive
ID 5 - cdrom
ID 6 -Zip
ID 7 -AHA2940
I would be moving the cdrom away from ID0 and placing it at 5 or above. I would
then move the linux
drive to ID0. This doesn't take much but if you don't know how e-mail me. What
does tend to worry
me is you can disconnect one of the drives and linux boots. If you want e-mail me
your lilo.conf file
or caldera's equivalent and I will have a look at it.
