Primary channel B?

[Charl Barnard]

There's an even easier way. Make /boot a link to a directory on /dev/sda,
and copy the contents of your current /boot there. Also put your kernel(s)
in there, and update your lilo.conf to reflect the new location of your
kernels. Make boot /dev/sda, even though that isn't your root filesystem;
that's just the location of your new boot sector. Run lilo, and, voila!

Cheers,

Charl
