This does work with a 1.44mb disk in the drive. It will not work with an
LS-120 because it is not 12-bit FAT.
I've still had no more luck with lilo. I have noticed that the LS-120 is
getting addressed as hdg instead of hda because of the memory address the
IDE controller resides at. It is one of the little idiot cards made just for
LS-120 boot compatibility. I'm making the disk on my system as hda. Could
this be screwing things up?
