This sounds like a good time to ask.
I just built a dual PIII 650 scsi system.
My motherboard is ide, but has the option to use a scsi device to boot.
I have an ide cdrom on hdc and an ide zip on hdd.
I have an advansys card in the machine and two IBM 9 gb scsi drives.

When it boots it sees everything just fine, but when lilo kicks in, it
hangs on L then repeats 80 80 80
or L BB BB BB

And sometimes it will go all the way to LILO and when I select the
kernel to load it will go
LILO loading slack

and that's it..  no ... after the slack or anything.
If I use a floppy it's fine.

I figured being BB or 80 it might be a bad drive or something, so I
switched the drives, and re installed the system..

Same thing.  It's completely random.  Sometimes I get LILO other times
it doesn't make it and dies somewhere..

With IDE you can do bios=3D0x81 or something, but with scsi, and being a
scsi card not on the mobo, I'm lost.  Are there any special lines I can
tack into lilo to do something?
I think my lilo.conf is something like this

boot =3D /dev/sda
vga =3D normal

image =3D /vmlinuz
  root =3D /dev/sda1
  label =3D slack
  read-only

That's all I need for ide.. Is there something different with scsi?
