Bug#122184: boot-floppies: lilo.conf points to non-existent /boot/boot.b
Package: boot-floppies
Version: 3.0.17
Severity: important
when performing an installation of woody, the second-to-last step ("make hard
drive bootable") always fails.
it seems that the installer puts the line "install=/boot/boot.b" in
/target/etc/lilo.conf. however, this file does not exist; newer versions of
lilo have /etc/boot-{bmp,compat,menu,text}.b, which causes this step to fail
with a vague error message about bios limits on hard disk sizes.
the version of lilo that was installed was 1:22.1-1.
