Re: Making a bootable LILO floppy

[Sebastiaan <S.Breedveld@ITS.TUDelft.NL>]

Hi,

from /usr/share/doc/lilo/Manual.txt:

/sbin/mke2fs /dev/fd0
mount /dev/fd0 /floppy
cp /boot/boot.b /floppy
cp /vmlinuz /floppy
echo image=/floppy/vmlinuz label=linux | /sbin/lilo -C - -b /dev/fd0 -i
	/floppy/boot.b -c -m /floppy/map
umount /floppy


For bigger configurations it may be handier to:
/sbin/lilo -C floppylilo.conf  -b /dev/fd0 -i /floppy/boot.b -c -m /floppy/map


Greetz,
Sebastiaan
