[linux-help] Re: SCSI and IDE

[Jonathan Hall <jonhall@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To do waht you're talking about you'll need a SCSI card with its own BIOS so
that you can boot off of the SCSI hard drive (any good SCSI card will have a
BIOS).  Then just install Windows on the SCSI drive... then rerun LILO with
a new lilo.conf with a 'boot=' line pointing oto the SCSI drive.  You'll
have to boot Liux from a floppy most likely to do the LILO installation--or
discable the SCSI boot device to boot from IDE again.

P.S. Why not move Linux to the SCSI drive? :-)
