Fatal: First sector of /dev/hda2 doesn't have a valid boot signature
I get the above message when trying to run lilo after installing sarge
on a spare partition of my hdd. Here is what I have done:
1. Net install of sarge on hda2
2. boot into sid on hda7
3. added the following two lines to my lilo.conf file:
other=/dev/hda2
label="sarge"
4. /sbin/lilo and got the above message
5. google
6. make sure the bootable flag is set
7. mount /dev/hda2 mnt/ ; chroot mnt/
8. /sbin/lilo
9. exit
10. /sbin/lilo and the message remains
what am I forgetting here?
Thanks,
rdc
