if yoou can boot from /dev/hda ... lilo is working
- pull out the scsi disk to make sure you are booting off /dev/hda
vi /etc/lilo.conf and run lilo after the changes
boot = /dev/hda
if you can boot off /dev/sda ... lilo is working
- pull out /dev/hda to make sure you are booting off /dev/sda
vi /etc/lilo.conf and run lilo after the changes
boot = /dev/sda
- it is NOT a bug ( the warning is just that .. a silly warning, just in
case you didnt meant to do that )
- for the latest lilo... download it fom the originating site ..
( debian's lilo is pretty out of date )

# save your current /etc/lilo.conf FIRST and do QuickInst from the latest
# lilo pkg, whatever version it may be
