Hi, everyone.

I have recently added an IDE ZIP drive to the system, and when I run lilo
I get the following messages:
Jan 22 16:01:05 werewolf kernel: ide-floppy: hda: I/O error, pc = 0, key = 2,
asc = 3a, ascq = 0
Jan 22 16:01:05 werewolf kernel: ide-floppy: hda: I/O error, pc = 1b, key = 2,
asc = 3a, ascq = 0
Jan 22 16:01:05 werewolf kernel: ide-floppy: hda: I/O error, pc = 5a, key = 5,
asc = 24, ascq = 0

Also, if I run lilo with the zip (/dev/hda) mounted, or unmounted but
still inserted, I get:

Warning: /dev/sda is not on the first disk

and the box does not boot, get stuck at 'LI'. If I run lilo without a
zip in the drive, I get the above messages but al works allright.

Is there any way to say lilo to ignore hda ?

My /etc/fstab:

/dev/sda1 / ext2 defaults 1 1
/dev/sda8 swap swap defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
swapfs /dev/shm swapfs defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/dev/sda5 /usr ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/sda6 /usr/local ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/sda7 /home ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda /mnt/zip auto user,noauto,nosuid,noexec,nodev 0 0
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto user,noauto,nosuid,noexec,nodev,ro

/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto user,noauto,nosuid,noexec,nodev 0
