Hello is it possible to boot from CD but then load the kernel and the root from harddisc (i.e. rescue root=/dev/hda1 boot=/dev/hdb3) ? The boot command does not seem to work on the LILO prompt. read you, -christian- -- Christian Hammers WESTEND GmbH Tel 0241/701333-0 ch@westend.com DPN Verbund-Partner Aachen u. Dueren Fax 0241/911879
