How does one discover what the BIOS disk identities will be for the disk on
chip?
E.g. 0x80 or 0x83 etc...
I am trying to use LILO and it is getting confused!!

That's because LILO doesn't work properly with DoC. Use grub instead.

Just the same as for mixed SCSI/IDE drives - you don't, you just guess.
Wanna get Grub finished?

Yep. You can load it into the DiskOnChip in place of their normal firmware,
so that the system BIOS runs Grub instead of trying to boot normally.
Then there are patches to grub itself to make it drive the DiskOnChip.
Those patches aren't 100% perfect yet, but they're fairly close. They're in
CVS.

Okay - tell me about GRUB, I take it that it's similar to LILO in that it's
a boot manager?
