Ask Slashdot:Crazed Booting

writes "I have a computer that I share with my wife, who is a slight technophobe.
I've tried to make our computer as easy for her to use as possible. As I result I've
setup my computer as follows.
It has an Adaptec 3940 card, set to boot off SCSI ID 4.
A Jaz drive is set to SCSI ID 4.
There is another SCSI drive set to ID 0.
Now when I want to load any given operating system, I just stick a Jaz
disk in and boot from it. When I'm done, I pop out the Jaz disk. When my
wife starts up the computer, it finds no cartridge in the Jaz drive, it
defaults to boot from ID 0. RedHat 5.0, and then I get to the LILO part, it tells me I can't load LILO
onto the MBR of device 4. Now I obviously could put LILO on device 0, but
I'm sure there's a way around this. "
