Using LILO...
I have personaly used loadlin to boot my kernel since day 1, but lately I
have been doing a lot of testing and determined to try to figure out how
to use LILO. I have been less than successful, and I only vaguely
understand why.
Here is the situation: The machine is an old 486 with 8 meg of memory and
two 1.2 Gig IDE drives. The first drive is one big DOS partition. The
second drive is two linux partitions (650 meg and 320 meg) and an almost
100 meg swap partition.
My last test involved upgrading a 1.1.13 system to bo. When I installed
the new lilo package I answered yes to installing lilo; yes to installing
the mbr on hdb; and yes to making hdb1 the active partition. On reboot,
the machine came up in DOS.
I assume that this was because both lilo and mbr were on the "wrong"
device to be recognized at bootup. How do I get them onto the hda drive,
and will they work there with the config information on hdb1?
TIA,
Dwarf
