Subject: boot-floppies: Lilo only boot still not working
To: submit@bugs.debian.org
X-Mailer: bug 3.2.10
Package: boot-floppies
Version: N/A
Severity: critical
I use selfmade boot floppies from CVS (as of April 14).
The computer is
a) with 2 SCSI disks, Root partition is first primary partition of second
drive.
b) with 1 IDE disk, Root partition is a logical partition
When choosing "Make Linux Bootable Directly From Hard Disk"
I'm now asked if I want to install Lilo in the MBR. Good, this is how I
always did it so I say yes.
But the next question is then (in both cases!)
The boot partition is a logical partition.
It can't boot from there, so you must install the MBR
in one of the following extended partitions.
Please select the partition to use.
And I'm presented with a menu of all extended partitions.
Result: Lilo gets installed in the extended partition, my previous MBR is
untouched.
Examining lilo.conf shows:
boot=/dev/sda2 (a)
boot=/dev/hda2 (b)
