Lilo and removable device (LS120)

["Thomas Gebhardt" <gebhardt@HRZ.Uni-Marburg.DE>]

Hi,

just trying to make a boot floppy with Lilo.

Problem:
This floppy should boot a second machine that has no floppy
drive but a ls120 ide floppy. This second system is not
running linux (yet). The floppy inserted in the ls120 drive
is recognized as /dev/hdb .

If the second machine had a floppy device, then I would use
this lilo.conf to make the boot floppy:

boot=/dev/fd0
root=/dev/boot255
install=/floppy/boot/boot.b
map=/floppy/boot/map
vga=normal
append = "nfsroot=137.248.3.64:/usr/lib/fai/nfsroot"
delay=10
compact
image=/floppy/vmlinuz
	label=nfsroot
	read-only

I tried to set

boot=/dev/hdb

but lilo says ("device not configured") when I try make the
boot floppy on my system (which is, of course, correct here).

Any hints?

Thanks, Thomas
