[UCLA-LUG] Getting Installed Linux to boot

Hello.

I have linux installed on one of my hard disks, and it was set up as 
the only OS.  Now, however, I have two hard disks (the second a much 
larger one which had to be sent out for repair).  On this new hard 
disk, which is hda, I have WinNT4.0 and Win98Japanese.  It uses the 
NT Loader to decide which operating system to start.  My main problem 
is that I installed linux (RH6.1) on the smaller drive when it was 
hda, but now it is hdc.  What do I need to do to boot up linux?  I 
have a HOW-TO on putting the right files in the NT loader (boot.ini), 
but that doesn't help much.  I know that the linux still works, 
because if I disconnect the bigger drive, I can start up just fine.

If you can help me on line, that would be great.  Otherwise, if it is 
something that will have to be worked through, I can try to make it 
to the installfest.

Thanx,
msd
