In the context of discussion on "[ILUG] Security
permissions for passwd", I looked once more in "man
lilo.conf" and saw it is possibile to assign /dev/hd* or
/dev/sd* entries according to bios # of the device.
Do anybody knows is it so, or I misunderstood something?
I can't test it (one HD, no CDs on my PC). But if this is
possible, it might help Fergal to resolve CD/DVD problem
(though the aproach is not so flexible to allow recognition
of individual partitions)
