Re: LILO only says LI 01 01 01 01...
My experiences with this indicate that LILO CANNOT configure itself
on any except the first logical drive. I didn't experiment with it,
but since removeable media (jaz drive) can be /dev/sda that made
my hard drive /dev/sdb. When I tried to make lilo insert itself
under these conditions I got exactly the response you have described.
I believe this is a bug in LILO, but I haven't tried to confirm it.
