Sorry to answer myself. The changes in the new lilo are documented
somewhere in an obscure part of the world. any_d.b changes to
map-drive = 0x80
to = 0x81
map-drive = 0x81
to = 0x80
Lilo just says the file does not exist and it does not give an indicative
error message. Otherwise it works like charm and thanks to the many guys
who have done a great job with Linux.
