Re: New Installation
I'm currently running two versions of Debian: bo & hamm. I boot hamm off
of /dev/hda2 w/LILO. I boot bo off of /dev/hdb2 with a boot floppy. I
created the boot floppy by first compiling a custom kernel, then running
/sbin/lilo as root with the following /etc/lilo.conf file:
boot=/dev/fd0
root=/dev/hdb2
compact
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map
vga=normal
delay=0
image=/vmlinuz
label=Linux
read-only
append="aha152x=0x340,10,7,1"
...you'll notice the boot entry is for the floppy drive. this means that
all that is on my floppy is LILO. notice also the delay is 0, and the
image points to /vmlinuz. this is the kernel. /vmlinuz seems to be
pretty standard in naming the kernel. make sure, if you use this, that
you copy your newly compiled kernel image to /vmlinuz before you run lilo.
