Problem installing Warp 3 on second hard disk

Hi, I'm having troubles installing Warp 3 on my reasonably new computer.  I
have two hard drives, a 4.3 GB hard drive with debian Linux on logical
partition and Windows 98 on the first primary.  This drive is the master
drive on the primary IDE interface.  I have a second, small (400 MB) hard
drive as master on the secondary IDE interface, currently with Red Hat Linux
on it.  I want to install warp on the second hard drive, along with Windows
3.1 with Win-OS2.  I'm using Warp 3 red pack.

Problems: the Warp install disk (which is, it must be acknowledged, more
than five years old) can't understand the partition layout of the primary
drive.  Warp's FDISK utility reports spurious figures instead of the real
layout.  If I try to install it on the secondary drive, it formats OK, but
I'm unable to install Windows 3.1 or Warp on it.  The install works OK until
I get into the stage where I need to reboot.  Then Lilo, which was installed
on the boot sector of the 400 MB drive, takes over instead of the boot
manager.  No matter what I do, I can't seem to blast Lilo off that disk and
use boot manager instead.

Also, can someone tell me where to get the GRADD driver with Riva TNT
support?  I've looked all over and I can't find it anywhere.
