begin  Ray Olszewski quotation:

In hopes that these might be useful:

http://swift.embl-heidelberg.de/johnny/sys/ls120-linux.html
http://www.redhat-linux.com.my/faq/install13.html
http://atlantic.tamu.edu/~bednar/gateway-9100-linux.html

The latter has a sample lilo.conf claimed to successfully boot an
LS-120, and says the trick is to have a "disk" section:

   disk=/dev/hdd 
   bios=0 

Like you, I saw a lot of references to people out there having problems
recognising LS-120s, and a lot more talking about inability to boot
Linux from them.  Good luck.
