Re: Notebook install
I don't think that it is possible presently, since the bootdisks do
a dd to the MBR and activate your root partition.
It looks like it is using a DOS-like MBR: find active partition and load
os from there.
And I have not found any lilo on the resc*.bin.
I the bootdisks would use lilo that would open up the possibility to
satisfy your request.
Cheers,
Karl
