LILO boot partition question. Thank you
I have a / partition on /dev/sda1 and have also defined a /dev/sda2
partition in the first /dev/sda cylinders to ensure my kernels are
always below the 1024cyl limit.
The /etc/lilo.conf I have working says:
boot=/dev/sda1
root=/dev/sda1
if I try installing a lilo.conf with boot=/dev/sda2 as I would like the
LILO process aborts after writing
LIL-
as the prompt.
I guess I am missing the second stage LILO loader routine in this case.
This is a Debian only box (as all should be ;->) and I would like to
have the LILO loader on the HD boot record ....
what should I try ????
Thank you. Bob Alexander
