I have installed lilo on the second disk (hdb1?) and it can boot as a single drive (No RedHat8). Should I change all "had" to "hdb" in the lilo.conf on the second disk?

No boot loader, or install grub on root or boot partition? The latter is the right choice to have made, and you'll need to specify the actual partition for the Fedora root or /boot partition in your lilo.conf file (e.g. /dev/hdb1), not the entire disk (/dev/hdb) as you have it at the moment. If you did not install a boot loader at all, you'll need to install one, e.g. by booting from the rescue CD and installing grub, or by re-running the installation. Adding the Fedora kernel/initrd to your lilo.conf manually is not a good idea because you'll need to make frequent manual changes due to the frequency of kernel updates.
