Hi,
I have a Red Hat LINUX and have made boot(sbpcd.i) and root(color.i) floppys to install LINUX on its own harddisk.
But I can't make the LILO boot see the CD drive. The drive is connected to the secondary ide on board controller, with the adress 0x170.
When I boot with the parameter 
mount sbpcd=0x170,SoundBlaster 
I get the message, that this adress is occupied.
On a DOS boot the CD drive is found all right on the above adress. What can be the problem.
regards Flemming
