I'm a little confused. How does one determine what partition their /boot is on ?
Here is my directory structure in /boot (It looks to me that my boot is root ?);
But according to Lilo.conf it's different:
(Relevant Lilo.conf line);
boot=/dev/hda
# Specifies the device that should be mounted as root. (`/')
#
root=/dev/hdc1
(boot directory listing);
:/boot# ls -ls

My present LILO.conf doesn't have the append line, like your example. Is it
necessary to include your depend line ? If you wouldn't mind explaning what this
Stanza does.
Thanks for your time.
