Well,
I know part of the problem.
12FA:
is the MBR prompt, not LILO
If you
want to use the label="whatever" you must first get LILO started. That's done by
trying to type anything during it's "delay"
delay
is set in /etc/lilo.conf and is measured in deciseconds (30 = 3
seconds)
A lot
of people suggest GRUB instead of LILO, but I haven't switched yet,
either.

I have two hard drives : hda e hdb. The hda has windows and i have used
FIPS to get 1 cylinder (+- 8MB) [/dev/hda3] to install LILO there. In hdb i
have Debian 3.0 with kernel 2.4 In the boot processof linux i get the
following error :
Quote:
|
fsck.ext2: Attemp to read block from filesystem resulted
in short read while trying to open /dev/hda3. Could this be a
zero-lengh partition? |
| I press CTRL-D and
i can do the login. When i try to do mount -t
ext2 /dev/ hda3 /boot i get the follwing message:
Quote:
|
attempt to access beyond end of device 03:03: rw=0,
want=2, limit=1 EXT2-fs: unavle to read superblock |
| My problem is i
cannot access LILO. Another thing is when i press SHIFT to choose the
OS i get the following : MBR 12FA: [then if i press 1 i get windows if
i press 2 i get the LILO menu with the two options : 1 - linux 2- windows. The
options work so is very odd why i cannot access that partition from the HD]
Also odd is that i have pu a label="Linux" and another for windows but
they don't work only the numbers 1 and 2. thanks for any
help
