I replaced line "boot=/dev/sda2" with "boot=/dev/sda"
and now I've an endless loop that goes:
LILO Loading Linux.......
LILO Loading Linux.......
LILO Loading Linux.......
LILO Loading Linux.......
LILO Loading Linux.......
LILO Loading Linux.......
with the seven dots. Pressing shift gives me the
LILO boot:
What should I try next to get the hard drive to boot
the kernel on the second partition? I may have ruined
it by writing a boot record onto the second partition.
I really don't know what I've done. I made sure to
check the second partition - it is set active/bootable.
I'd made a typo earlier and ommited the star (*).
Missing Linux,
