Yes.

Yes.

My (pretty crappy) hardware is:

ASUS P4S800-MX SE motherboard (SiS chipset) with 256 Mb RAM and 2.0Ghz
Celeron CPU,
HITACHI Deskstar IC35L060AVV207-0 IDE drive,
LG GSA-4163B DVD dribe (ROM VER: A101)

When both IDE devices are on the single IDE cable (HDD = master and
DVD = slave), I've got no LILO prompt. LILO just starts loading
ide-sec-master image w/o any delay. The output follows:

=== cut ===
LILO 22.7 Loading ide-sec-maser

<clear screen>

BIOS data check

Map file write; BIOS error code = 0x01
successful

Map file write; BIOS error code = 0x01

Loading Linux ...

<clear screen>

I've attached dmesg and /proc/pci (just in case).

PS. That machine was supposed to be a testbed for Oracle DBMS.  I've
successfully installed Oracle 10g Enterprise Server on it.  Although,
I didn't test it yet. If you are interested, I can report my way
later.
