hi
i've been running sid and after an apt-get -f upgrade yesterday morning, i
found that my lilo hangs. the letters "LIL.." come up and it simply
freezes. i read through several man-pages and lists and figured that the
lilo may be pointing to incorrect map or something simply wrong with the
MBR.
several people have mentioned creating a boot-floppy using mkboot. can i
create a boot-floppy on another sid machine using this utility (by
specifying the correct boot partition?) if i point to a boot partition
like /dev/hda5, how will it work since that device may not be created at
boot (on mine its something like /dev/ide/bus0/target0/.../part5). i also
bumped into this location, is that all thats needed?
