Re: LILO-rific
Hello,
Set boot to /dev/hda (the MBR) and your setup should work just fine.

:
: boot=/dev/hda3
: root=/dev/hda3
: install=/boot/boot.b
: map=/boot/map
: vga=normal
: delay=20
: other=/dev/hda1
: label=Win
: table=/dev/hda
: password=secret
: image=/vmlinuz
: label=Linux
: read-only

: hda1, since windows MBR, er... I really don't get that part so well. The
: last question is: As of now I'm using a floppy to boot to Linux. Otherwise
: the system boots to Windows no questions asked, since I haven't touched the
: MBR. If I load lilo into the MBR, and I decide it's not working out for me,
: is there a quick way to pull it back out? Much thanks, bye!
