While trying to install Slackware downloaded from ftp.cdrom.com
on my Office PC, an IBM PS/ViewPoint 466DX2 with "Intel Insider," 
I discovered that I needed to add the disk geometry for both
hard drives and could do it using one ramdisk input line during
the pre-boot setup, i.e.:  ramdisk hda=683,16,38 hdb=1667,16,63

I recommend that the on-screen booting information, the Installation
HOWTO and other documentation make crystal clear HOWTO use the
ramdisk line to input disk geometries for MORE than one disk.

Regards,
Albert
