Okay trying linux once again...this time trying slackware, installed it over a few partitions dedicated to RedHat which had the GRUB bootloader on it beforehand. However when I tried installing LILO over GRUB it errored out, so I removed GRUB manually, then I went into Linux configured my lilo.conf file ran /sbin/lilo under root, and all I get at boot up time is L 01 01 01 01...I installed the scsi.s kernal thinking it would work with my adaptec card used for my internal zip...but it doesn't seem to be working, not sure if that has to do with why my Hard Drive is configured as being hdb, anyway here is my lilo.conf file. I'm currently booting from a floppy, which works fine, however I'd really like to boot from the mbr directly, anyhelp here would be much appreciated
