How do you query bios for hard disk drives?
Is there any way to query the bios to find out the interupt address (i.e. 80x) of all the attached hard disks?
Only I need to manually figure it out for installing grub or lilo.
Kind regards

If you have a working Linux system installed you can do lspci -v, but it sounds like you are just installing, so you can't do this. Why do you need to know the interrupts for your hard drives for GRUB/LILO? I don't recall ever having to know this information to install either LILO or GRUB or even the FreeBSD boot loader.

Re: How do you query bios for hard disk drives?
Many thanks. Actually what I wanted was to know if the raid array I have set up comes up with an address of 0x80 for example.
Why do I want to know? Because I can't get a boot loader to load!
I have the system currently booted up with Arch installed on a USB stick.
Kind regards
