Of course I can change it. But, I know (as you also > said) it is possible to boot from a slave hard disk. I haven't tested, Most modern BIOS have the option to boot from a lot of devices, you can check if your BIOS have options to boot from hd1, or primary slave, whatever your BIOS call it, just enter the SETUP and check for it. > but it is like a poor solution, for I wouldn't be learning.

LILO won't help you, you're installing the boot loader in a slave disk, whatever you do, your BIOS will still call for the master (in most cases), check your grub config twice, change it for the slave drive (hd(1,0)?!) and change your BIOS to boot from the slave... Or, better, change the slave/master jumpers to a config where your HD is the master, OR EVEN BETTER, make it so your CD/DVD drives go at the secondary IDE (if your're using IDE, I suppose so from your posts). When different drives with different speeds are in the same IDE one may interfer and even slow down performance of the other. > > > Holly Bostick: > > "Ummm... isn't there supposed to be a system.map for the kernel as well= ?" > > Yes, I think.
