Hi Gordon

You didn't say you had two controllers.  That makes life a bit different.  
First off the kernel needs to have support build in for your second
controller.  well really your third and fourth controller most likely.  I
do believe that slackware has support for the promise controllers built in
to the bare.i boot disk.  If not this could be a bit of a problem assuming
that is the kind of controller you have.  In either case it is probable
that the drive that is in question is really /dev/hde.

If you need anymore help just call or write.  It could get a little tricky
to set this up and boot off of that drive.  Unless your thinking of
booting from a floppy the lilo config to boot this setup will prove to be a
learning experience for you.
