Okay, I'm about to install Linux on my humble 386. Now, I have two
drives. I want to make the larger one DOS only (I can't help if it has
all the games 8), and make the smaller one my Linux drive. Now, the
problem is that the larger drive is the second drive. So, if I try to
make the second drive a primary partition, DOS complains that it can
only make partitions on drive 1 partition. Now, if I install Lilo and
make the first drive (the linux drive) the startup drive, will lilo
handle the switching over of drives, and bootup DOS even though DOS is
on drive 2?
