missing /boot files
I noticed something strange today trying to configure lilo to display a
.bmp boot screen. It seems that I have no /boot/boot.b or
/boot/boot-bmp.b, according to what I've been reading these should be
there. I'm using lilo 22.5.8 and installed debian using the netinst (if
that is relevant).
The contents of my /boot are as follows:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 518609 Oct 4 05:59
System.map-2.4.22-1-386
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 512 Dec 2 19:11 boot.0300
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 42261 Sep 27 09:17 config-2.4.22-1-386
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Jan 5 14:30 debian.bmp ->
/usr/share/lilo/contrib/debian.bmp
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 Jan 5 14:30 debianlilo.bmp
-> /usr/share/lilo/contrib/debianlilo.bmp
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3256320 Dec 2 19:10
initrd.img-2.4.22-1-386
-rw------- 1 root root 84992 Jan 28 20:23 map
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Jan 5 14:30 sarge.bmp ->
/usr/share/lilo/contrib/sarge.bmp
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Jan 5 14:30 sid.bmp ->
/usr/share/lilo/contrib/sid.bmp
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 769886 Oct 4 05:59 vmlinuz-2.4.22-1-386
If I use the following lilo.conf I get no errors when running /sbin/lilo
but the boot menu does not display properly (the options text does not
fit in the correct place:
map=/boot/map
default=debian
prompt
bitmap=/boot/sarge.bmp
install=/boot/boot-bmp.b
timeout=50
image=/vmlinuz
label=debian
initrd=/initrd.img
root=/dev/hda4
other=/dev/hda1
label=win2000
